 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      rmdel - remove a delta from an SCCS file

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      rmdel -r SID file ...

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The rmdel command removes the delta specified by the 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 path name 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 or directory to be processed; non-SCCS files
      and unreadable files are silently ignored.  When -- is specified on
      the command line, all following arguments are treated as file names.

      The permissions to remove a delta are either (1) if you make a delta
      you can remove it; or (2) if you own the file and directory you can
      remove a delta.

 EXTERNAL INFLUENCES    [Toc]    [Back]
    Environment Variables
      LC_CTYPE determines the locale for the interpretation of text as
      single-byte and/or multi-byte characters.

      LC_MESSAGES determines the language in which messages are displayed.

      LC_MESSAGES also determines the local language equivalent of the
      affirmative string ("yes").

      If LC_CTYPE or LC_MESSAGES is not specified in the environment or is
      set to the empty string, the value of LANG is used as a default for
      each unspecified or empty variable.  If LANG is not specified or is
      set to the empty string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used
      instead of LANG.

      If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting,
      rmdel behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C".
      See environ(5).

    International Code Set Support    [Toc]    [Back]
      Single-byte and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
