MPI_File_delete(3)MPI_File_delete(3)NAMEMPI_File_delete - Deletes a file
SYNOPSIS
C:
#include "mpi.h"
int MPI_File_delete(char *filename, MPI_Info info)
Fortran:
INCLUDE "mpif.h" (or USE MPI)
CHARACTER*(*) filename
INTEGER info, ierror
CALL MPI_FILE_DELETE (filename, info, ierror)
DESCRIPTIONMPI_File_delete deletes the file identified by filename. If the file
does not exist, MPI_File_delete raises an error in the
MPI_ERR_NO_SUCH_FILE class.
You can use the info argument to provide information regarding file
system specifics. The constant, MPI_INFO_NULL, refers to null
information, and can be used when no information is required.
If a process currently has the file open, the behavior of any access to
the file (as well as the behavior of any outstanding accesses) is
implementation dependent. In addition, whether an open file is deleted is
also implementation dependent. If the file is not deleted, an error in
the MPI_ERR_FILE_IN_USE or MPI_ERR_ACCESS class will be raised. The
default error handler is used to raise errors.
This routine accepts the following arguments:
filename Specifies the name of the file to delete (string)
info Specifies the information object (handle)
ierror Specifies the return code value for successful completion,
which is in MPI_SUCCESS. MPI_SUCCESS is defined in the
mpif.h file.
Notes for Fortran
All MPI objects (for example, MPI_Datatype, MPI_Comm, MPI_File) are of
type INTEGER.
