- Delete(REL2) ARP User's Manual Delete(REL2)
-
-
-
- NAME
- Delete - Delete any number of files or directories.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- Delete FILES/... ALL/S,Q=QUIET/S, A=ASK/S
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Delete deletes the names you specify, if there is a problem
- with the deletion delete will inform you. If you wish to
- delete a directory that contains other files, you must use
- the ALL switch. As with most ARP commands that deal with
- Files, you can specify a wildcard pattern in any or all of
- the positions.
-
- ARP also allows you to interactively delete the files by
- specifying the ASK switch. If you use ASK, delete will
- display the files one by one, with a question mark. If you
- type 'Y' followed by return, the file will be deleted, and
- the next one will be displayed. Any other character will
- cause the file to be preserved.
-
- If you use wildcards, Delete will display the names of the
- files as they are deleted. You can prevent this by using the
- QUIET switch.
-
- REL2
- This command, like many other of the REL2 ARP commands uses
- multiargs. You may specify any number of files or
- directories to this command, no more artificial limits.
-
