MBFileDeleteOperation Class Reference

Inherits from	NSOperation
Declared in	MBFilesystemOperations.h

Overview

An NSOperation subclass that can be used to delete a file from the filesystem.

MBFileDeleteOperation instances are added to NSOperationQueues to be performed.

The MBFilesystemOperationQueue singleton is available as a convenience for performing filesystem operations such as this.

Note: This operation does not provide a mechanism to be notified of its success or failure.
