NAME

rmdel − Removes a delta from a Source Code Control System (SCCS) file

SYNOPSIS

rmdel -rSID file ...  | -

The rmdel command removes the delta specified by SID from each named SCCS file. 

FLAGS

-rSIDRemoves the delta SID from the SCCS file.  This flag is required. 

DESCRIPTION

You can remove only the most recently created delta in a branch, or the latest trunk delta if it has no branches.  In addition, the SID you specify must not be a version currently being edited for the purpose of making a delta.  To remove a delta, you must either own the SCCS file and the directory, or you must be the user who created the delta you want to remove. 

If you specify a directory in place of file, rmdel performs the requested actions on all SCCS files (those with filenames that have the s.prefix).  If you specify a - (dash) in place of file, rmdel reads standard input, and interprets each line as the name of an SCCS file.  The rmdel command continues to take input until it reads an End-of-File character. 

EXAMPLES

To remove delta 1.3 from the SCCS file s.test.c, enter:

rmdel -r1.3 s.test.c

EXIT VALUES

The rmdel command returns the following exit values:

       •0Successful completion

       •>0An error occurred
