26 /* FUNCTION
27 Deletes a local or environment variable.
29 The default is to delete a local variable if one was found,
30 or to delete a global environment variable otherwise.
32 A global environment variable will only be deleted for the
33 type LV_VAR.
35 INPUTS
36 name - the name of the variable to delete. Note that variable
37 names follow the same syntax and semantics as filesystem
38 names.
40 flags - A combination of the type of variable (low 8 bits), and
41 flags to control the behaviour of this routine.
42 Currently defined flags:
44 GVF_LOCAL_ONLY - delete a local variable.
45 GVF_GLOBAL_ONLY - delete a global environment variable.
47 RESULT
48 If non-zero, the variable was deleted successfully,
49 DOSFALSE otherwise.
51 NOTES
52 When the GVF_SAVE_VAR flag is set, and only one of the global
53 variable pair could be deleted (either the in memory or on disk
54 variable), DOSFALSE will be returned.
