NAME
     rmdel - remove a delta from an SCCS file

SYNOPSIS
     rmdel -rSID [file ...] [directory]

DESCRIPTION
     rmdel removes the delta (specified by the SCCS IDentification number, or
     SID) from each named SCCS file. The delta to be removed must be the
     newest (most recent) one in its branch in the delta chain.  The SID
     specified must not be that of a version being edited for the purpose of
     making a delta.  Thus, if a p-file exists for the named SCCS file, the
     SID specified must not appear in any entry of the p-file. Refer to get(1)
     for information about the creation of p-files.

     If you give a directory as an argument, rmdel behaves as though each file
     in the directory were specified as a named file, except that it silently
     ignores any non-SCCS and unreadable files.  If you supply a dash (-) in
     place of a filename, the standard input is read.  Each line of the
     standard input is taken to be the name of an SCCS file to be processed;
     again, non-SCCS files and unreadable files are silently ignored.

     Permission to remove a delta is granted to the person who created it, as
     well as to the owner of the associated file and directory.
