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.
