int dpm_rm (int nbsurls, char **surls, int *nbreplies, struct dpm_filestatus **filestatuses)

DESCRIPTION

dpm_rm deletes a set of files from disk and from the name space.

The input arguments are:

The output arguments are:

nbreplies
will be set to the number of replies in the array of file statuses.
filestatuses
