rpccp_remove_entry

remove entry(1m)														  remove entry(1m)

NAME

       remove entry - Removes a name service entry from the name service database

SYNOPSIS

       rpccp remove entry  entry-name [-s syntax]

OPTIONS

       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 name service entry.  For an entry in the local cell, you can omit the cell name and specify only the cell-
       relative name.

DESCRIPTION

       The remove entry command removes an entry from the name service database. The name of the entry is required.

   Privilege Required
       You  need read permission to the CDS object entry (the target name service entry).  You also need delete permission to the CDS object entry
       or to the parent directory.

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 following commands run RPCCP and remove the entry /.:/LandS/anthro/Cal_host_2 from the local cell of the name service database: $ rpccp
       rpccp> remove entry  /.:/LandS/anthro/Cal_host_2
