MPI_File_delete(3)

NAME
     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.

   Notes for Fortran
     All MPI objects (for example, MPI_Datatype, MPI_Comm, MPI_File) are of
     type INTEGER.
