NAME

       delete directory - Deletes a directory

SYNOPSIS

       cdscp delete directory directory-name

ARGUMENTS

       The full name of the directory.

DESCRIPTION

       The  delete  directory  command	deletes a directory.  The directory cannot contain any object entries, soft links, or child pointers.  The
       master replica must be the only remaining replica in the cell.  Use the delete replica command if you need to remove read-only replicas.

   Privilege Required
       You must have delete permission to the directory and write permission to the clearinghouse that stores the master replica of the directory.
       The  server  principal  needs  administer  permission  to the parent directory or delete permission to the child pointer that points to the
       directory you intend to delete.

NOTE

       This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

EXAMPLE

       The following command deletes the directory /.:/eng from the namespace: cdscp> delete directory /.:/eng
