MPI_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)


DESCRIPTION

       MPI_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.
