LIBRARY ROUTINE

kdms_destroy_attribute - destroy an attribute

LIBRARY CALL

int kdms_destroy_attribute(
      kobject  object,
      char    *segment,
      char    *attribute)

INPUT

OUTPUT

none

RETURN VALUE

TRUE on success, FALSE otherwise

DESCRIPTION

This routine provides the programmer with a mechanism for destroying an instantiation of an attribute.

The segment argument is used to indicate which segment the attribute exists in. If the segment argument is NULL, then the attribute is assumed to exist at the object level.

If the attribute is not physically instantiated on the object, then it can not be destroyed. In general, this routine should only be used to destroy attributes that have been explicitly created with a kdms_create_attribute call.
