NAME
     rmdel - remove a delta from an SCCS file

SYNOPSIS
     rmdel -r SID [--] file...

DESCRIPTION
     rmdel (remove delta) removes the delta specified by the SID (SCCS
     identification string) from each named SCCS file, file. The delta to
     be removed must be the newest (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; that is, if a p-file exists for the named SCCS file [see
     get(1)], the delta specified must not appear in any entry of the p-
     file.

     The -r option specifies that the delta with the number SID is to be
     removed.

     It is necessary to specify -- if the first filename begins with -.

     If a directory is named, rmdel behaves as though each file in the
     directory were specified as a named file, except that non-SCCS files
     (last component of the pathname 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.

     The rules governing the removal of a delta are as follows: if you make
     a delta and have appropriate file permissions, you can remove it; if
     you own the file and directory in which a new delta file resides, you
     can remove the delta.

LOCALE
     The language of the message texts is governed by the environment vari-
     able LCALL, LCMESSAGES or LANG.

     When the default is set, the system behaves as if it were not interna-
     tionalized, i.e. the message texts are in English. You must change one
     of these variables in order to change the language of the message
     texts.

     Detailed information on the dependencies of the environment variables
     and on internationalization in general can be found in the manual
     "Programmer's Guide: Internationalization - Localization. Refer also
     to environ(5) for information on setting the user environment.
