lfc_delfilesbypattern
deletes the file entries selected by pattern matching on basename. If replicas
exist and the force argument is not zero, all replicas are first removed.
path
specifies the logical pathname relative to the current LFC directory or
the full LFC pathname.
pattern
allows to restrict the list of files to be deleted to entries having the basename
starting with this pattern.
pattern
should be terminated by a %.
nbstatuses
will be set to the number of replies in the array of statuses.
statuses
will be set to the address of an array of lfc_filestatus structures allocated
by the API. The client application is responsible for freeing the array when not
needed anymore.
struct lfc_filestatus {
char name[CA_MAXNAMELEN+1];
int errcode;
};
RETURN VALUE
This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation
failed. In the latter case,
serrno
is set appropriately.
ERRORS
ENOENT
The named directory does not exist.
EACCES
Search permission is denied on a component of the
path
prefix or write permission is denied on the parent directory or
the parent has the sticky bit S_ISVTX set and
the effective user ID of the requestor does not match the owner ID of the file and
the effective user ID of the requestor does not match the owner ID of the
directory and
the file is not writable by the requestor and
the requestor does not have ADMIN privilege in the Cupv database.
ENOMEM
Memory could not be allocated for marshalling the request or unmarshalling
the reply.
EFAULT
path,
pattern,
nbstatuses
or
statuses
is a NULL pointer.
EEXIST
File has replicas and
force
is zero.
ENOTDIR
A component of
path
prefix is not a directory.
ENAMETOOLONG
The length of
path
exceeds
CA_MAXPATHLEN
or the length of a
path
component exceeds
CA_MAXNAMELEN.
