DESCRIPTION

The remove object command removes a value from a set-valued or single-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of an object entry.  If you do not specify a value, the command removes the entire attribute.  This command can delete attributes created by the add object and set object commands.  Usually, this task is performed through the client application.  See the OSF DCE Administration Guide for more information about attributes. 

Privileges Required

You must have w (write) permission to the object entry. 

NOTES

This command is replaced at DCE Version 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
