DESCRIPTION
       remove_allocatable  removes  entries  of  user  allocatable  devices  from the device allocation mechanism. remove_allocatable also removes

       -d	      Removes  system-supplied	default attributes of the device type that is specified with -t.

       -f	      Force the removal of an entry. remove_allocatable exits with an error if this option is not specified when an entry with the
		      specified device name no longer exists.

       -n name	      Removes the entry for the device name.

       -t dev-type    Removes devices of type dev-type.
