rmdel

PURPOSE

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

SYNOPSIS
     rmdel -rSID files


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 per-
     forms 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.
