rmdel



PURPOSE

Removes a delta from a Source Code Control System (SCCS) file.

SYNTAX


rmdel -- -r SID -- file --|
                 ^      |
                 +------+


DESCRIPTION

The rmdel command removes the delta specified by SID from each named Source
Code Control System (SCCS) file.  You can remove only the most recently created
delta in a branch, or the latest trunk delta if it has no branches.  In
addition, the SID you specify must not be a version currently being edited for
the purpose of making a delta.  To remove a delta, you must either own the SCCS
file and the directory, or you must be the user who created the delta you want
to remove.

If you specify a directory in place of file, rmdel performs the requested
actions on all SCCS files (those with file names that have the s.prefix).  If
you specify a - (minus) in place of file, rmdel reads standard input, and
interprets each line as the name of an SCCS file.  rmdel continues to take
input until it reads an end-of-file character (Ctrl-D).

FLAG

-rSID    Removes the delta SID from the SCCS file.  This flag is required.
