10.0; dlty (delete_type), revision 1.0, 88/01/21
dlty (delete_type) - delete a type.
usage:  dlty type_name [-n node_spec] [-l] {cl}



DESCRIPTION
     dlty deletes a type and any installed type manager.

     type_name (required)
                    Specify the name of the type to be deleted.

OPTIONS
     -n node_spec   Specify the node on which the type is to be deleted.  Type
                    help node_spec for details about node specification
                    syntax.  You may also specify the entry directory of a
                    volume mounted for software updates, as shown in the
                    example below. If you omit the -n node-spec the type is
                    deleted on the current node.

     -l             List the type name/type identifier pair that is deleted.

EXAMPLES
     $ dlty example_type -l
     "example_type" 24BF9F41.100001FB deleted.

     $ dlty example_type -n //test_vol -l
     "example_type" 24BFA6F8.200001FB
     deleted from volume //test_vol.

     In the following example, the disk has been mounted for software updates.
     The disk's top level directory (cataloged as /mount_disk by the mtvol
     command) must contain a "sys" directory. If it does not, you get a "types
     file not found" error.

     $ mtvol w /mount_disk
     $ dlty example_type -n /mount_disk -l
      "example_type" 24BFB71E.200001FB deleted
                     from volume //my_node/mount_disk.
