DLF (DELETE_FILE) -- Delete one or more files.
usage:  DLF [pathname...]  [-L] [-F] [-DU] {CL}


FORMAT

  DLF [pathname...] [options]


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


ARGUMENTS

  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.

  -DU                Delete when unlocked.  If  the  object  to  be  deleted  is
                     locked  when  DLF  is invoked, the delete operation will be
                     performed when the object is unlocked.

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


EXAMPLES

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