NAME

nisrm − remove NIS+ objects from the namespace

SYNOPSIS

nisrm [ −if ] name...

AVAILABILITY

SUNWnisu

DESCRIPTION

The nisrm command removes NIS+ objects named name from the NIS+ namespace. 

OPTIONS

−i Interactive mode. Like the system rm(1) command the nisrm command will ask for confirmation prior to removing an object. If the name specified by name is a non-fully qualified name this option is forced on. This prevents the removal of unexpected objects. 

−f Force.  The removal is attempted, and if it fails for permission reasons a nischmod(1) is attempted and the removal retried.  If the command fails, it fails silently. 

EXAMPLES

Remove the objects foo, bar, and baz from the namespace. 

example% nisrm foo bar baz

ENVIRONMENT

NIS_PATH If this variable is set, and the NIS+ name is not fully qualified, each directory specified will be searched until the object is found (see nisdefaults(1)). 

EXIT CODES

niscat returns 0 on success and 1 on failure. 

SEE ALSO

nis(1), nischmod(1), nisdefaults(1), nisrmdir(1), nistbladm(1), rm(1)

NOTES

This command will not remove directories (see nisrmdir(1)) nor will it remove non-empty tables (see nistbladm(1)).
