NAME
MPI_File_delete - Deletes a file.
SYNTAX
C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_File_delete(char *filename, MPI_Info info)
Fortran Syntax
INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_FILE_DELETE(FILENAME, INFO, IERROR)
CHARACTER*(*) FILENAME
INTEGER INFO, IERROR
C++ Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
static void MPI::File::Delete(const char* filename, const
MPI::Info& info)
INPUT PARAMETERS
filename Name of file to delete (string).
info Info object (handle).
OUTPUT PARAMETER
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTION
MPI_File_delete deletes the file identified by the file name filename,
provided it is not currently open by any process. It is an error to
delete the file with MPI_File_delete if some process has it open, but
MPI_File_delete does not check this. If the file does not exist,
MPI_File_delete returns an error in the class MPI_ERR_NO_SUCH_FILE.
ERRORS
Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value
of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. C++ func-
tions do not return errors. If the default error handler is set to
MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception mechanism
will be used to throw an MPI:Exception object.
Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is
called. For MPI I/O function errors, the default error handler is set
to MPI_ERRORS_RETURN. The error handler may be changed with
MPI_File_set_errhandler; the predefined error handler
MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL may be used to make I/O errors fatal. Note that
MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
