gdmdelete

gdmdelete(
{ G_gdmSpec | q_gdmSpecList }
[ x_gdmOptions ]
[ g_xtra ]
)
=> t / nil

Description

Deletes the library, cell, view, directory, or file that G_gdmSpec represents from the workarea and the default configuration.

If G_gdmSpec represents a directory that is not a library element, this function works recursively on the directory only if the GDM_RECURSE option was set when G_gdmSpec was created with gdmCreateSpec.

This function is the SKILL equivalent of the gdmdelete shell command.

Arguments

G_gdmSpec	The gdmSpec object of the library, cell, view, directory, or file to delete.
q_gdmSpecList	A gdmSpecList object containing gdmSpec objects.
x_gdmOptions	One of the following integers: 1: Deletes files from the workarea only. 0: Indicates no options are set. Default.
g_xtra	String containing additional arguments to be passed to the underlying design management system’s delete command.

Value Returned

t	The files were deleted.
nil	An error occurred and the files were not deleted.
