DLF (DELETE_FILE) -- Delete one or more files.
usage:  DLF [pathname...]  [-L] [-F] [-DU] {CL}


FORMAT

  DLF [pathname...] [options]


  DLF  deletes  the  file(s) specified.  To delete objects other than files, see
  the help files for DLL (DELETE_LINK) and DLT (DELETE_TREE).


ARGUMENTS

  pathname
  (optional)         Specify file to be deleted.  Multiple names and wildcarding
                     are permitted; separate names with blanks.

                     Default if omitted:  read names from standard input


OPTIONS

  -F                 Force file deletion if you have owner rights, even  if  you
                     don't have delete rights.

  -L                 List names of deleted files.

  -DU                 Delete  when  unlocked.    If  the object to be deleted is
                     locked when DLF is invoked, the delete  operation  will  be
                     performed when the object is unlocked.

  This  command  uses  the command line parser, and so also accepts the standard
  command options listed in HELP CL.


EXAMPLES

    $ dlf mary.bak -L
    (file) "mary.bak" deleted.
