      NAME
           rmdel - remove a delta from an SCCS file

      SYNOPSIS
           rmdel -rSID files

      DESCRIPTION
           Rmdel removes the delta specified by the SID from  each  named  SCCS
           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 (i. e., 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 behaves as though each  file  in  the
           directory were specified as a named file, except that non-SCCS files
           (last component of the path name does not begin with s.) and unread-
           able files are silently ignored.  If a name of - is given, the stan-
           dard 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 unread-
           able files are silently ignored.

           The exact permissions necessary to remove a delta are documented  in
           the  Source  Code  Control System User's Guide.  Simply stated, they
           are either (1) if you make a delta you can remove it; or (2) if  you
           own the file and directory you can remove a delta.

      FILES
           x-file    (see delta(1))
           z-file    (see delta(1))
