Deletes a hostdata item from a specific host and removes the associated entry from dced
Synopsis
#include <dce/dced.h>
void dced_hostdata_delete(
dced_binding_handle_t dced_bh,
uuid_t *entry_uuid,
error_status_t *status);
Parameters
Input
dced_bh
Specifies the dced binding handle for the hostdata service on a specific host.
entry_uuid
Specifies the UUID of the hostdata entry (and associated data) to delete.
Output
status
Returns the status code from this routine. This status code indicates whether the routine completed successfully or, if not, why not.
Description
The dced_hostdata_delete( ) routine deletes a hostdata item (a file) from a specific host, and removes the associated entry from the host data
service of that host's dced.
If you want to only make the data inaccessible remotely but not delete it, use the dced_entry_remove( ) routine which only removes the data's hostdata entry.
Prior to calling the dced_hostdata_delete( ) routine, the application must have established a valid dced binding handle for the hostdata service by calling either the dced_binding_create( ) or dced_binding_from_rpc_binding( ) routine.
Warnings
Do not delete the standard hostdata items such as cell_name, cell_aliases, host_name, post_processors, or dce_cf.db. This will cause
operational problems for the host.
