MPI_File_delete(3OpenMPI)                                                          MPI_File_delete(3OpenMPI)



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.
