PBDTRemoveAPPLAsync
Header:	Files.h		Carbon status:	Supported

Removes an application from the desktop database. This function runs asynchronously.

OSErr PBDTRemoveAPPLAsync (
    DTPBPtr paramBlock
);

paramBlock: A pointer to a desktop parameter block.

function result: A result code.

DISCUSSION

Clear all fields (other than input fields) in the parameter block that you pass to Desktop Manager functions. The relevant fields of the parameter block for this function are:

ioCompletionOn input, a universal procedure pointer to a completion function. A value of type IOCompletionUPP.
ioResultOn return, the result code of the function. A value of type OSErr.
ioNamePtrOn input, a pointer to the application’s name. A value of type StringPtr.
ioDTRefNumOn input, the desktop database reference number. A value of type SInt16.
ioDirIDOn input, the application’s parent directory. A value of type SInt32.
ioFileCreatorOn input, the application’s signature. A value of type OSType.

The PBDTRemoveAPPL function removes the mapping information for an application from the database specified in ioDTRefNum. You can call PBDTRemoveAPPL even if the application is not present on the volume.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

All of the Desktop Manager functions may move or purge memory blocks in the application heap or for some other reason should not be called from within an interrupt. Your application should not call Desktop Manager functions at interrupt time.

AVAILABILITY

Supported in Carbon. Available in Mac OS 8.1 and later when Carbon 1.0.2 or later is present.
