SYNOPSISrmdel-r SID file... | -
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry stan‐
dards as follows:
rmdel: XCU5.0
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about
industry standards and associated tags.
OPTIONS
Removes the delta SID from the SCCS file. This flag is required.
OPERANDS
Path name of an existing SCCS file from which you want to remove the
delta.
If you specify a directory in place of file, rmdel performs the
requested actions on all SCCS files (those with file names that
have the s. prefix).
If you specify a - (dash) in place of file, rmdel reads standard
input, and interprets each line as the name of an SCCS file.
The rmdel command continues to take input until it reads an End-
of-File character.
DESCRIPTION
The rmdel command removes the delta specified by SID from each named
SCCS file.
You can remove only the most recently created delta in a branch, or the
latest trunk delta if it has no branches. In addition, the SID you
specify must not be a version currently being edited for the purpose of
making a delta. To remove a delta, you must either own the SCCS file
and the directory, or you must be the user who created the delta you
want to remove.
EXIT STATUS
The rmdel command returns the following exit values: Successful comple‐
tion. An error occurred.
EXAMPLES
To remove delta 1.3 from the SCCS file s.test.c, enter: rmdel-r 1.3
s.test.c
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of rmdel: Pro‐
vides a default value for the internationalization variables that are
unset or null. If LANG is unset or null, the corresponding value from
the default locale is used. If any of the internationalization vari‐
ables contain an invalid setting, the utility behaves as if none of the
variables had been defined. If set to a non-empty string value, over‐
rides the values of all the other internationalization variables.
Determines the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of
text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to multi‐
byte characters in arguments and input files). Determines the locale
for the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard
error. Determines the location of message catalogues for the process‐
ing of LC_MESSAGES.
