NAME

remove entry - Removes a name service entry from the name service database

SYNOPSIS

rpccp remove entry entry-name [-s syntax]

OPTIONS

-s syntaxIndicates the name syntax of the entry name (optional).  The only value for this option is the dce name syntax, which is the default name syntax.  Until an alternative name syntax becomes available, specifying the ­-s option is unnecessary. 

ARGUMENTS

entry-nameIndicates the name of the target name service entry.  For an entry in the local cell, you can omit the cell name and specify only the cell-relative name. 

DESCRIPTION

The remove entry command removes an entry from the name service database.  The name of the entry is required. 

Privileges Required

You need r (read) permission to the Cell Directory Service (CDS) object entry (the target name service entry).  You also need d (delete) permission to the CDS object entry or to the parent directory. 

NOTES

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

EXAMPLES

The following command removes the entry /.:/LandS/anthro/Cal_host_2 from the local cell of the name service database:

rpccp> remove entry  /.:/LandS/anthro/Cal_host_2
