status = %XML_ELEM_REMOVEATTRIBUTE(element, attr_name[, attribute])
Return value
status
XML_SUCCESS if the specified attribute is removed. (i4)
Arguments
element
The XML element instance whose attribute will be removed. (XML_ELEM_TYPE)
attr_name
The name of the attribute to remove. (a)
attribute
(optional) The removed attribute. (XML_ATTR_TYPE)
Discussion
This method will remove the first attribute with the specified name in the XML element’s list of attributes. If the attribute argument is specified, you are responsible for deleting memory by calling %XML_ATTR_DELETE for that attribute. If attribute is not specified, %XML_ELEM_REMOVEATTRIBUTE will delete the attribute automatically.
If you need more control in deleting attributes, see %XML_ATTRLIST_REMOVE.
Examples
The example below assumes an XML element called elem has an attribute whose name is attr1:
ret=%xml_elem_removeattribute(elem," attr1")
Or, if we want to keep the removed attribute in a variable called attr, we’d do this:
attr, XML_ATTR_TYPE ret=%xml_elem_removeattribute(elem, "attr1", attr) ;If it doesn't get added to any attribute lists, delete it when finished: xcall xml_attr_delete(attr)
