man dndel (Commandes) - Delete a file on a VMS system

NAME

dndel - Delete a file on a VMS system

SYNOPSIS

dndel [options] file-name

Options:

[-ivVh]

DESCRIPTION

dndel deletes files held on VMS systems. The filename parameter may specify a single file or a wildcard (remember to use VMS wildcards).

If you specify -i or -v then dndel will open two connections to the VMS machine (much as VMS itself does). Otherwise it will attempt to use a single connection. One side-effect of this is that the deletion process will fail at the first file that cannot be deleted.

OPTIONS

-i
Interactive. Prompt before deleting a file.
-v
Verbose. Print the names of files that have been deleted
-h -?
Displays help for using the command.
-V
Show the version of the tools package that dndel comes from.

EXAMPLES

dndel -i 'myvax::oldfile;*'



dndel 'tramp"patrick pjc123"::interactive'
