NAME

dce_db_delete_by_uuid - Deletes an item from a UUID-indexed backing-store

SYNOPSIS

#include <dce/dce.h>
#include <dce/dbif.h>

void dce_db_delete_by_uuid(
    dce_db_handle_t handle,
    uuid_t *key,
    error_status_t *status);

PARAMETERS

Input

handle: A handle, returned from dce_db_open(), that identifies the backing-store being used.
key: A pointer to a UUID that is the key to the item in the backing store.

Output

status: A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, the routine returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error code.

DESCRIPTION

The dce_db_delete_by_uuid() routine deletes an item from the backing-store that is identified by the handle parameter, which was obtained from dce_db_open(). It is a specialized deletion routine for backing stores that are indexed by UUID, as selected by the db_c_index_by_uuid bit in the flags parameter to dce_db_open() when the backing store was created.

ERRORS

db_s_del_failed: The deletion did not occur. The global variable errno may indicate further information about the error.
db_s_bad_index_type: The backing-store is not indexed by UUID.
db_s_iter_not_allowed: The function was called while an iteration, begun by dce_db_iter_start(), was in progress. Deletion is not allowed during iteration.
error_status_ok: The call was successful.
