rmdel(1) General Commands Manual rmdel(1)
Name
rmdel - remove a delta from an SCCS file
Syntax
rmdel -r files
Description
The command removes the delta specified by the SID from each named SCCS file. The delta to be removed must be the most recent delta in its
branch in the delta chain of each named SCCS file. In addition, the specified delta must not be that of a version being edited for the
purpose of making a delta, for example, if a p-file exists for the named SCCS file, the specified delta must not appear in any entry of
the p-file). For further information, see
If a directory is named, behaves as though each file in the directory were specified as a named file, except that non-SCCS files (last com-
ponent of the path name does not begin with s.) and unreadable files are silently ignored. If - is given as the name, the standard input
is read and each line of the standard input is taken to be the name of an SCCS file to be processed. Non-SCCS files and unreadable files
are silently ignored.
Certain permissions are necessary to remove a delta. If you make a delta or own the file and directory, you can remove it.
