remove_directory
remove directory(1m) remove directory(1m)
NAME
remove directory - Removes a value from a set-valued or single-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of a directory
SYNOPSIS
cdscp remove directory directory-name attribute-name [= attribute-value]
ARGUMENTS
The full name of the directory. The name of a particular attribute. Specify only one attribute at a time. See the cds_attributes file
for the list of attributes and corresponding data types that your application uses. The value of a particular attribute. The value of an
application-defined attribute is dependent on the type of attribute.
DESCRIPTION
The remove directory command removes a value from a set-valued or single-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of a
directory. If you do not specify a value, the command removes the entire attribute. This command can delete attributes created by the add
directory and set directory commands. Usually this task is performed through the client application. See the OSF DCE Administration Guide
for more information about attributes.
Privilege Required
You must have write permission to the directory.
NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLE
To remove the value 1 from the user-defined, set-valued attribute dirregion of a directory named /.:/sales, follow these steps: Read the
cds_attributes file to check that the attribute dirregion is listed, as shown in the following display:
OID LABEL SYNTAX 1.3.22.1.3.66 dirregion small Enter the following command to remove the value 1 from the
attribute dirregion. cdscp> remove directory /.:/sales dirregion = 1
