_fsDelete()
Delete a file
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C Prototype
#include "filesys.api"
void _fsDelete(
BYTEP fpFilename
)
Arguments
fpFilename is the name of the file to delete specified as a null-
terminated string. The fpFilename must be fully specified, including
the drive letter, path, and extension.
Returns
_fsDelete() has no return value.
Description
This function deletes the file fpFilename. It is equivalent to the
CA-Clipper function FERASE(). Use the _fsError() function to determine
if the file delete operation resulted in an error.
Examples
. The following code fragment illustrates the use of
_fsDelete(). Note that error handling should be performed at each
step. Refer to the "Error System API Reference" chapter of this
guide for details on communicating with the CA-Clipper Error system:
#include "filesys.api"
FHANDLE hFile;
// Create a temporary read/write file
hFile = _fsCreate( "Temp", FC_NORMAL );
if (! _fsError() )
{
.
.
.
_fsClose( hFile ); // Can't delete an open file
_fsDelete( "Temp" );
}
Files Library is CLIPPER.LIB, header file is Filesys.api.
