Name

rmdel − remove a delta from an SCCS file

Syntax

rmdel −r

Description

The rmdel 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 get(.).

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 − 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.
