MPI_File_delete - Deletes a file.
18.2.101.1. SYNTAX
18.2.101.1.1. C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_File_delete(const char *filename, MPI_Info info)
18.2.101.1.2. Fortran Syntax
USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_FILE_DELETE(FILENAME, INFO, IERROR)
CHARACTER*(*) FILENAME
INTEGER INFO, IERROR
18.2.101.1.3. Fortran 2008 Syntax
USE mpi_f08
MPI_File_delete(filename, info, ierror)
CHARACTER(LEN=*), INTENT(IN) :: filename
TYPE(MPI_Info), INTENT(IN) :: info
INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror
18.2.101.2. INPUT PARAMETERS
filename
: Name of file to delete (string).info
: Info object (handle).
18.2.101.3. OUTPUT PARAMETER
IERROR
: Fortran only: Error status (integer).
18.2.101.4. 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.
18.2.101.5. ERRORS
Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument.
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.
