# lfc\_delreplicas(3)

delete replica entries associated with a list of GUIDs and a particular se

## NAME

lfc\_delreplicas - delete replica entries associated with a list of GUIDs and a particular se

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<sys/types.h\>**\
 **#include "lfc\_api.h"**

**int lfc\_delreplicas (int** *nbguids***,** **const char \*\****guids***,** **char \****se***,** **int \****nbstatuses***,** **int \*\****statuses***)**

## DESCRIPTION

**lfc\_delreplicas** deletes replica entries associated with a list of GUIDs and a particular se.

- *nbguids*

  specifies the number of guids in the array *guids*.

- *guids*

  specifies the list of Grid Unique IDentifiers.

- *se*

  allows to restrict the replica entries to a given SE.

- *nbstatuses*

  will be set to the number of replies in the array of statuses.

- *statuses*

  will be set to the address of an array of integer statuses allocated by the API. The client application is responsible for freeing the array when not needed anymore.

## RETURN VALUE

This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case, **serrno** is set appropriately.

## ERRORS

- **ENOENT**

  The named guid does not exist.

- **EACCES**

  Search permission is denied on a component of the parent directory or write permission is denied on the parent directory or the parent has the sticky bit S\_ISVTX set and

  the effective user ID of the requestor does not match the owner ID of the file and

  the effective user ID of the requestor does not match the owner ID of the directory and

  the file is not writable by the requestor and

  the requestor does not have ADMIN privilege in the Cupv database.

- **ENOMEM**

  Memory could not be allocated for marshalling the request or unmarshalling the reply.

- **EFAULT**

  *guids*, *se*, *nbstatuses* or *statuses* is a NULL pointer.

- **EINVAL**

  *nbguids* is not strictly positive, the length of one of the *guids* exceeds **CA\_MAXGUIDLEN** or the length of *se* exceeds **CA\_MAXHOSTNAMELEN**.

- **SENOSSERV**

  Service unknown.

- **SEINTERNAL**

  Database error.

- **SECOMERR**

  Communication error.

- **ENSNACT**
