NAME

ttrm, ttrmdir − remove files or directories in a ToolTalk-safe way

SYNOPSIS

ttrm [ − ] [ −frL ] pathname ...
rmdir directory ...
ttrm[dir] -v
ttrm[dir] -h

DESCRIPTION

ttrm invokes rm(1) or rmdir(1) to remove files and directories and informs ToolTalk about its actions so that the TT objects associated with the deleted files and directories can be deleted at the same time. 

OPTIONS

- Treat the following arguments as filenames so that you can specify filenames starting with a minus. 

-f Force. Do not report any errors, and pass the -f option to rm(1). 

-r Recursively delete the TT objects of any directories named, and pass the -r option to rm(1). 

-L Remove the TT objects of the files or directories, but do not invoke rm(1) or rmdir(1) to remove the actual files or directories. 

-v Print the version of the command. 

-h Print usage information for the command. 

FILES

/mountpoint/TT_DB This directory is used as a database for the ToolTalk objects of files in the filesystem mounted at /mountpoint.

SEE ALSO

rm(1), rmdir(1), ttsession(1)

BUGS

The -i (interactive) option of rm(1) is not supported. 

ttrm and ttrmdir remove the TT objects before they remove the files and do minimal checking of whether the latter operation will succeed before performing the former.
