rmdel(1)                       DG/UX R4.11MU05                      rmdel(1)


NAME
       rmdel - remove a delta from an SCCS file

SYNOPSIS
       rmdel -r SID files

DESCRIPTION
       Rmdel removes the delta specified by the SID from each named SCCS
       file.  The delta to be removed must be the most recent delta in its
       branch in the delta chain of each named SCCS file.  In addition, the
       SID specified must not be that of a version being edited for the
       purpose of making a delta: if a p-file (see get(1)) exists for the
       named SCCS file, the SID specified must not appear in any entry of
       the p-file

       If a directory is named, rmdel treats each file in the directory as a
       named file, except that non-SCCS files (last component of the path
       name does not begin with s.)  and unreadable files are silently
       ignored.  If a name of - is given, the standard input is read; each
       line of the standard input is taken to be the name of an SCCS file to
       be processed; non-SCCS files and unreadable files are silently
       ignored.

       Simply stated, if you make a delta you can remove it; or if you own
       the file and directory you can remove a delta.


EXAMPLES
       $ rmdel -r1.15 /work/archives/s.file1

       This command specifies the removal of delta '1.15' of the SCCS file
       's.file1'.  This process will cause the delta's type indicator in the
       "delta table" of the SCCS file to be changed from "D" (delta) to "R"
       (removed).

       $ rmdel -r1.3.1.1 s.file2

       This command specifies the removal of branch delta '1.3.1.1' from the
       SCCS file 's.file2'.  This will also cause the delta's type indicator
       to change from "D" to "R".

FILES
       x.file    [see delta(1)]
       z.file    [see delta(1)]
