Scilab function

pvm_delhosts - deletes hosts from the virtual machine.

### Calling Sequence

  `infos = pvm_delhosts(hosts)`

### Parameters

- `hosts` : row of strings, containing the names of the machines to be deleted.
- `infos` : row of integers, contains the status code returned by the routine for the individual hosts.

### Description

`pvm_delhosts` deletes the computers named in `hosts` from the existing configuration of computers making up the virtual machine. All PVM processes and the pvmd running on these computers are killed as the computer is deleted. The array `info` can be checked to determine the status of each host. Values less than zero indicate an error, while zero values indicate a success.

If a host fails, the PVM system will continue to work and will automatically delete the failing host from the virtual machine. It is the responsibility of the application developer to make his application tolerant of host failure.

### Examples

    info = pvm_delhosts(["isostar","loop"])
