devicefile] file DESCRIPTION
removes an EFI file. The EFI file system is based on the FAT file system and used by the Itanium-based system BIOS to locate an HP-UX bootloader. See efi(4). devicefile should be the device file for the EFI volume. If file is a directory, prints a diagnostic message and returns without removing the directory; use efi_rmdir(1M) to remove EFI directo- ries. file should be relative to the root of the EFI volume specified by devicefile, not to an HP-UX file system. Options recognizes the following option: devicefile is the device special file of the EFI file system from which the file is to be removed. Without the option, uses the device file specified in the environment variable if it is defined. The option overrides the environment variable. RETURN VALUE
returns exit code 0 if the file is removed successfully. Otherwise it prints a diagnostic message and returns nonzero. 0 Successful completion. >0 Error condition occurred. EXAMPLES
