SYNOPSIS

cdscp remove directory directory-name attribute-name [= attribute-value]

ARGUMENTS

directory-name
The full name of the directory.

attribute-name
The name of a particular attribute.  Specify only one attribute at a time. See the cds_attributes file for the list of attributes and corresponding data types that your application uses.

attribute-value

DESCRIPTION

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

Privilege Required

You must have write permission to the directory. 

NOTE

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

     2.Enter the following command to remove the value 1 from the attribute dirregion.
