NAME
     rmdel - remove a delta from an SCCS file

USAGE
     rmdel -rSID [file ...] [directory]

DESCRIPTION
     Rmdel removes the delta (specified by the SCCS IDentifica-
     tion number, or SID) from each named SCCS file. The delta to
     be removed must be the newest (most recent) one in its
     branch in the delta chain.  The SID specified must not be
     that of a version being edited for the purpose of making a
     delta.  Thus, if a p-file exists for the named SCCS file,
     the SID specified must not appear in any entry of the p-
     file. Refer to get(1) for information about the creation of
     p-files.

     If you give a directory as an argument, rmdel behaves as
     though each file in the directory were specified as a named
     file, except that it silently ignores any non-SCCS and
     unreadable files.  If you supply a dash (-) in place of a
     filename, the standard input is read.  Each line of the
     standard input is taken to be the name of an SCCS file to be
     processed; again, non-SCCS files and unreadable files are
     silently ignored.

     Permission to remove a delta is granted to the person who
     created it, as well as to the owner of the associated file
     and directory.
