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.
