FS_DELETE

Removes a directory entry associated with a filename.

Syntax

FS_DELETE(pcdfsi, pcdfsd, pFile, iCurDirEnd)

Parameters

pcdfsi

Is a pointer to the file-system-independent working directory structure.

pcdfsd

Is a pointer to the file-system-dependent working directory structure.

pFile

Is a pointer to the ASCIIZ name of the file or directory. The FSD does not need to validate this pointer.

iCurDirEnd

Is the index of the end of the current directory in pFile.

This is used to optimize FSD path processing. If iCurDirEnd == -1, there is no current directory relevant to the name text, that is, a device.

Calling Sequence

int far pascal FS_DELETE(pcdfsi, pcdfsd, pFile, iCurDirEnd)

struct cdfsi far * pcdfsi;
struct cdfsd far * pcdfsd;
char far * pFile;
unsigned short iCurDirEnd;

Remarks

The files specified are deleted.

The deletion of a file opened in DOS mode by the same process requesting the delete is supported. OS/2 calls FS_CLOSE for the file before calling FS_DELETE.

The file name may not contain wildcard characters.
