DELETE(3PVM)

💾 DELETE(3PVM) 💾

okay bestie, welcome to PVM Version 3.4, page DELETE(3PVM) — and ngl, this one is a lil bittersweet 🥲

---

✨ NAME ✨

pvm_delete — delete data from pvmd database

[In Version 3.4: Relaced by pvm_delinfo] bestie the original page literally spells it "Relaced" and I am NOT fixing it, that's a historic artifact and we respect her 💅 also lowkey this whole function is on its way out, so if you're starting fresh, look at pvm_delinfo instead 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

C    int cc = pvm_delete( char *name, int index )

Fortran   Not available

fr fr, Fortran girlies, this one is simply not available to you 😭 sorry bestie

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• name — the class name, a null-terminated string ✨
• index — the class index, and it's gotta be >= 0 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

First things first: go read pvm_insert(3PVM) if you want the full lore on how this database works, because this page is not gonna re-explain it, she's just here to do her one job 🦋

So what does she do? pvm_delete deletes the entry <name, index> from the database. that's it. that's the whole thing. main character energy, minimal dialogue, gone 💅

---

⚠️ ERRORS ⚠️

If everything goes off without a hitch, pvm_delete returns PvmOk. slay ✨

Otherwise? She hands you back a negative error code, and it's one of these two:

• PvmBadParam — you gave her an invalid argument value 🙈
• PvmNoEntry — the <name, index> pair you asked about does not exist 💀

---

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

• pvm_insert(3PVM)
• pvm_lookup(3PVM)

and that's the whole page bestie, no cap, we ate and left zero crumbs 🍓
