NAME

12       rmdel - remove a delta from an SCCS file (DEVELOPMENT)
13

SYNOPSIS

15       rmdel -r SID file...
16

DESCRIPTION

18       The rmdel utility shall remove the delta specified by the SID from each
19       named SCCS file. The delta to be removed shall be the most recent delta
20       in its branch in the delta chain of each named SCCS file. In  addition,
21       the  application  shall  ensure that the SID specified is not that of a
22       version being edited for the purpose of making a delta; that is,  if  a
23       p-file  (see  get  )  exists for the named SCCS file, the SID specified
24       shall not appear in any entry of the p-file.
25
26       Removal of a delta shall be restricted to:
27
28        1. The user who made the delta
29
30        2. The owner of the SCCS file
31
32        3. The owner of the directory containing the SCCS file
33

OPTIONS

35       The rmdel utility shall conform  to  the  Base  Definitions  volume  of
36       IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines.
37
38       The following option shall be supported:
39
40       -r  SID
41              Specify the SCCS identification string ( SID) of the delta to be
42              deleted.
43
44

OPERANDS

46       The following operand shall be supported:
47
48       file   A pathname of an existing SCCS file or a directory. If file is a
49              directory, the rmdel utility shall behave as though each file in
50              the directory were specified as a named file, except  that  non-
51              SCCS  files  (last component of the pathname does not begin with
52              s.) and unreadable files shall be silently ignored.
53
54       If exactly one file operand appears, and it is '-', the standard  input
55       shall  be read; each line of the standard input is taken to be the name
56       of an SCCS file to be processed. Non-SCCS files  and  unreadable  files
57       shall be silently ignored.
58
59

STDIN

61       The standard input shall be a text file used only when the file operand
62       is specified as '-' . Each line of the text file shall  be  interpreted
63       as an SCCS pathname.
64

INPUT FILES

66       The SCCS files shall be files of unspecified format.
67

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

69       The  following  environment  variables  shall  affect  the execution of
70       rmdel:
71
72       LANG   Provide a default value for the  internationalization  variables
73              that  are  unset  or  null.  (See the Base Definitions volume of
74              IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section  8.2,  Internationalization  Vari‐
75              ables  for the precedence of internationalization variables used
76              to determine the values of locale categories.)
77
78       LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values  of  all
79              the other internationalization variables.
80
81       LC_CTYPE
82              Determine  the  locale  for  the  interpretation of sequences of
83              bytes of text data as characters (for  example,  single-byte  as
84              opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments and input files).
85
86       LC_MESSAGES
87              Determine  the  locale  that should be used to affect the format
88              and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
89
90       NLSPATH
91              Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of
92              LC_MESSAGES .
93
94

ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS

96       Default.
97

STDOUT

99       Not used.
100

STDERR

102       The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
103

OUTPUT FILES

105       The  SCCS files shall be files of unspecified format. During processing
106       of a file, a temporary x-file, as described in admin,  may  be  created
107       and  deleted; a locking z-file, as described in get, may be created and
108       deleted.
109
