rmdel(1)                                                 rmdel(1)



NAME
     rmdel - removes a delta from an SCCS file

SYNOPSIS
     rmdel -r SID [file]...

ARGUMENTS
     file Specifies the SCCS file that will be affected.

     -r   Removes the delta from the specified SCCS file.

     SID  Specifies the SCCS Identification String (SID).

DESCRIPTION
     rmdel removes the delta specified by the SCCS Identification
     string (SID) from each named SCCS file.  The delta to be
     removed must be the newest (most recent) delta in its branch
     in the delta chain of each named SCCS file.  In addition,
     the SID specified must not be that of a version being edited
     for the purpose of making a delta (i.e., if a p-file (see
     get(1)) exists for the named SCCS file, the SID specified
     must not appear in any entry of the p-file).

     If a directory is named, rmdel behaves as though each file
     in the directory were specified as a named file, except that
     non-SCCS files (last component of the pathname does not
     begin with s.) and unreadable files are silently ignored.
     If a name of - is given, the standard input is read; each
     line of the standard input is taken to be the name of an
     SCCS file to be processed; non-SCCS files and unreadable
     files are silently ignored.

     The exact permissions necessary to remove a delta are
     documented in the ``SCCS Reference'' in A/UX Programming
     Languages and Tools, Volume 2.  Simply stated, they are
     either: (1) if you make a delta you may remove it; or (2) if
     you own the file and directory, you may remove a delta.

EXAMPLES
     The command:

        rmdel -r1.2 s.test1.c

     would remove the latest delta version (i.e., 1.2) for
     s.test1.c.
