ttrmdir(1)

CDE

NAME

ttrmdir - remove empty directories and inform the ToolTalk service

SYNOPSIS

ttrmdir [-L] directory... ttrmdir -h | -v

OPTIONS

The following options are available: -h Write a help message for invoking ttrmdir and then exit. -L Remove the ToolTalk objects of the directories, but do not invoke rmdir(1) to remove the actual directories. -v Write the version number of ttrmdir and then exit. The -p option to cp(1) is not supported.

OPERANDS

The following operand is supported: directory A pathname of an empty directory to be removed.

DESCRIPTION

The ttrmdir utility invokes rmdir(1) to remove empty directories and informs ToolTalk about its actions so that the ToolTalk objects associated with the deleted directories can also be deleted. The ttrmdir utility removes the ToolTalk objects before it removes the directories and does not check whether a directory is empty or whether the directory-removing operation will succeed before performing the object- removing operation.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the other internationalization variables. LC_MESSAGES Determine the locale that is used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error and informative messages written to standard output. NLSPATH Determine the location of message catalogues for the processing of LC_MESSAGES.

EXIT STATUS
