- DELQ deletes specified files with query - that is before
- each file is deleted, user is required to confirm delete.
-
- DELQ can be given a list of drives e.g C: D:. DELQ
- searches these drives for the given files. Each drive
- specifier can contain also a directory specifier e.g
- c:\test, then DELQ searches starting from the test
- directory. Normally DELQ starts its search from the
- default directory.
-
- Normally DELQ finds files with attribute bit, readonly
- bit or no bits set. You can disable the default
- attributes with the /NOD (=No Default) switch.
-
- Files are specified using normal OS/2 rules with ? and *
- acting as wild cards.
-
- There is a /TEST-switch, which shows the delete commands,
- but does not execute them. It is useful for verifying
- that you have specified the correct files on the command
- line.
-
- With the /S -option DU shows also all subdirectories.
-
- The following options are recongnized:
-
- +H include also hidden files.
- +S include system files
- +R include read-only files
- +A include files with attribute-bit.
- +D include directories (does not make too much sense with
- SCAN).
- +N include normal files. This is the default. Normal
- files include files with read-only or archive or no bits
- at all set.
- /NOD No Default. Do not include any files by default.
- SOme combination of attributes must be given.
