NAME

6       lfc-rm - remove LFC files or directories in the name server
7

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

14       lfc-rm removes LFC files or directories in the name server.  For direc‐
15       tories either -r or -R must be present.  For regular  files,  it  calls
16       lfc_unlink while for directories, it calls lfc_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 LFC pathname.  If path does not start with  /,  it
26              is prefixed by the content of the LFC_HOME environment variable.
27

33
34       -i     Request acknowledge before removing each individual entry.
35
