     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).

          The -r option is used for specifying the SID (SCCS
          IDentification) level of the delta to be removed.

          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 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; non-SCCS files and unreadable
          files are silently ignored.

          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.
