rmdel -- remove a delta from an SCCS file

Synopsis

rmdel -rSID file . . .

Description

rmdel removes the delta specified by the SID (SCCS identification string) from each named SCCS file. The delta to be removed must be the newest (most recent) delta in its branch in the delta chain of each named SCCS file. In addition, the delta specified must not be that of a version being edited for the purpose of making a delta; that is, if a p.file exists for the named SCCS file (see get(1)), the delta specified must not appear in any entry of the p.file.

The -r option specifies the SID level of the delta to be removed.

If a directory is named, rmdel behaves as though each file in the directory were specified as a named file, except that non-SCCS files (last component of the path name does not begin with s.) and unreadable files are silently ignored. If a name of - is given, the standard input is read; 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.

The rules governing the removal of a delta are as follows: if you make a delta and have appropriate file permissions, you can remove it; if you own the file and directory in which a new delta file resides, you can remove the delta.
