MPI_File_delete(3)                 Open MPI                 MPI_File_delete(3)



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++
       functions 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.
