DLL

DLT

4.0; dlf (delete_file), revision 4.0, 82/07/28
DLF (DELETE_FILE) -- Delete one or more files.
usage:  DLF [pathname...]  [-L] [-F]  {CL}


FORMAT

  DLF [pathname...] [options]


  DLF deletes the file(s) specified.  To delete objects other than files, see
  the help files for DLL (DELETE_LINK) and DLT (DELETE_TREE).


ARGUMENT

  pathname
  (optional)       Specify file to be deleted.  Multiple names and wildcarding
                   are permitted; separate names with blanks.
                   Default if omitted: read names from standard input.


OPTIONS

  -F               Force file deletion if you have owner rights, even if you
                   don't have delete rights.

  -L               List names of deleted files.

  DLF uses the command line parser, and so also accepts the standard command
  options listed in HELP CL.


EXAMPLE

  $ dlf mary.bak -L
  (file) "mary.bak" deleted.
