NAME

6       dpns-rm - remove DPNS files or directories in the name server
7

SYNOPSIS

9       dpns-rm [-f] [-i] filename...
10
11       dpns-rm [-f] [-i] -r dirname...
12

DESCRIPTION

14       dpns-rm  removes  DPNS  files  or  directories in the name server.  For
15       directories either -r or -R must be present.   For  regular  files,  it
16       calls dpns_unlink while for directories, it calls dpns_rmdir.
17
18       This  requires  write  permission  in the parent directory and the file
19       itself.  If write permission on an entry is denied, the standard  input
20       is  a  terminal  and  the  -f option is not given, the prompt "override
21       write protection" appears and if the response is not y,  the  entry  is
22       not  deleted.   Entries  directly under a protected directory are never
23       deleted.
24
25       path   specifies the DPNS pathname.  If path does not start with /,  it
26              is  prefixed  by  the content of the DPNS_HOME environment vari‐
27              able.
28

OPTIONS

31

33              exist.
34
35       -i     Request acknowledge before removing each individual entry.
36
37       -R     Recursive mode (equivalent to -r).
