Deleting objects in the IFS

[bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Kenneth,

Assuming you know the object path of interest, then the Get Attributes
(Qp0lGetAttr) API with attribute 8 (Storage Free) will tell you if
indeed storage has been freed.

If you want to search all objects, then the Process Subtree
(Qp0lProcessSubtree) API and associated User Function exit (using
Qp0lGetAttr) should be of interest.

Both APIs can be found in the Integrated File System APIs chapter of
the System API Reference.
