NAME
dpns-rm - remove DPNS files or directories in the name server
SYNOPSIS
dpns-rm [-f] [-i] filename... dpns-rm [-f] [-i] -r dirname...
DESCRIPTION
dpns-rm removes DPNS files or directories in the name server. For directories either -r or -R must be present. For regular files, it calls dpns_unlink while for directories, it calls dpns_rmdir. This requires write permission in the parent directory and the file itself. If write permission on an entry is denied, the standard input is a terminal and the -f option is not given, the prompt "override write protection" appears and if the response is not y, the entry is not deleted. Entries directly under a protected directory are never deleted. path specifies the DPNS pathname. If path does not start with /, it is prefixed by the content of the DPNS_HOME environment variable.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -f Do not give an error message if the file/directory does not exist. -i Request acknowledge before removing each individual entry. -R Recursive mode (equivalent to -r). -r Recursive mode.
EXIT STATUS
This program returns 0 if the operation was successful or >0 if the operation failed.
