Removes an object class from the file system.
Object Data Manager Library (libodm.a)
#include <odmi.h>
int odm_rm_class (ClassSymbol) CLASS_SYMBOL ClassSymbol;
The odm_rm_class subroutine removes an object class from the file system. All objects in the specified class are deleted.
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. If the odm_rm_class subroutine is unsuccessful, a value of -1 is returned and the odmerrno variable is set to an error code.
Failure of the odm_rm_class subroutine sets the odmerrno variable to one of the following error codes:
| ODMI_CLASS_DNE | |
| The specified object class does not exist. Check path name and permissions. | |
| ODMI_CLASS_PERMS | |
| The object class cannot be opened because of the file permissions. | |
| ODMI_INVALID_CLXN | |
| Either the specified collection is not a valid object class collection or the collection does not contain consistent data. | |
| ODMI_INVALID_PATH | |
| The specified path does not exist on the file system. Make sure the path is accessible. | |
| ODMI_MAGICNO_ERR | |
| The class symbol does not identify a valid object class. | |
| ODMI_OPEN_ERR | |
| Cannot open the object class. Check path name and permissions. | |
| ODMI_TOOMANYCLASSES | |
| Too many object classes have been accessed. An application can only access less than 1024 object classes. | |
| ODMI_UNLINKCLASS_ERR | |
| Cannot remove the object class from the file system. Check path name and permissions. | |
| ODMI_UNLINKCLXN_ERR | |
| Cannot remove the object class collection from the file system. Check path name and permissions. | |
