removef(1M)                      DG/UX R4.11                     removef(1M)


NAME
       removef - remove a file from software database

SYNOPSIS
       removef pkginst path1 [path2 ...]

       removef -f pkginst

DESCRIPTION
       Removef informs the system that the user, or software, intends to
       remove a pathname.  Output from removef is the list of input
       pathnames that may be safely removed (no other packages have a
       dependency on them).

       After all files have been processed, removef should be invoked with
       the -f option to indicate that the removal phase is complete.

EXAMPLE
       The following shows the use of removef in an optional pre-install
       script:

       echo "The following files are no longer part of this package
             and are being removed."
       removef $PKGINST /dev/xt[0-9][0-9][0-9] |
       while read pathname
       do
            echo "$pathname"
            rm -f $pathname
       done
       removef -f $PKGINST || exit 2
