rpccp_remove_element
remove element(1m) remove element(1m)
NAME
remove element - Removes selected elements from a profile
SYNOPSIS
rpccp remove element profile-entry-name {-d | -i if-id -m member | -a annotation} [-s syntax]
OPTIONS
Removes the default profile element. With the -d option, the -a, -i, and -m options are ignored. Defines an interface identifier for the
profile element to be removed for a member specified with the -m option. Only one interface and member pair can be removed in a single
operation. If you supply multiple instances of the -i option, the command uses the final instance.
The -i and -m options take precedence over the -a option. However, if the default profile element is specified (by the -d option), the -i
and -m options are ignored.
The interface identifier value has the following form:
interface-uuid,major-version.minor-version
The UUID is a hexadecimal string and the version numbers are decimal strings, for example: -i ec1eeb60-5943-11c9-a309-08002b102989,1.1
Leading zeros in version numbers are ignored. Defines a member name for the profile element to be removed. This option is required if the
interface identifier is specified. Only one interface and member can be removed in a single operation. If you supply multiple instances
of the -m option, the command uses the final instance. Removes all elements whose annotation fields match the specified annotation; in the
presence of -d option or -i and -m options, the -a option is ignored.
Note that the shell supports quotation marks around the annotation field of profile elements, which allows you to include internal spaces
in an annotation; the control program does not. To specify or refer to annotations from within the control program, limit each annotation
to an unbroken alphanumeric string; for example, CalendarGroup. To refer to annotations from the system prompt, do not incorporate quota-
tion marks into any annotation. Indicates the name syntax of the entry name (optional). The only value for this option is the dce name
syntax, which is the default name syntax. Until an alternative name syntax becomes available, specifying the -s option is unnecessary.
ARGUMENTS
Indicates the name of the target profile. For an entry in the local cell, you can omit the cell name and specify only the cell-relative
name.
DESCRIPTION
The remove element command removes an element from a profile in the name service database. For a description of the fields in a profile
element, see add entry(1m).
The remove element command requires the entry name of the profile. The command also requires one of the following options: The default pro-
file option takes precedence over the other two options. interface-id -m member-name An interface and member pair takes precedence over
the -a option. The annotation option takes effect only if neither the -d or -i option is specified.
Privilege Required
You need read permission and write permission to the CDS object entry (the target profile entry).
NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLES
The initial shell commands set up an environment variable Calendar_1_1, which represents the interface identifier of an RPC interface. The
control program commands set up an environment variable for the interface identifier of the Calendar Version 1.1 RPC interface, run RPCCP,
and remove an element from a profile, as follows: $ Calendar_1_1=ec1eeb60-5943-11c9-a309-08002b102989,1.1 $ export Calendar_1_1 $ rpccp
rpccp> remove element -i Calendar_1_1 > -m /.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group > /.:/LandS/anthro/molly_o_profile
