NAME

  dtcm_delete - delete appointments from the calendar database


SYNOPSIS

  dtcm_delete [-c calendar] [-d date] [-v view]


OPTIONS

  -c calendar
      Specify the name of the target calendar. Calendar names typically take
      the form user@hostname, where user is a user's login name and hostname
      is the host machine name. An example is felix@cat. If no target
      calendar is specified, the calendar defaults to the current user at the
      current host machine.

  -d date
      Specify the date for the appointment(s) to be deleted. The date is
      specified using the form mm/dd/yy, where mm, dd and yy are the two-
      digit month, day and year modulo 100, respectively. Certain other
      references such as ``today'', ``Tuesday'', ``tomorrow'' etc. are
      correctly calculated. If no date is specified, date defaults to today's
      date.

  -v view
      Specify the view span of appointments to display. The view option-
      argument can be:

  day	      Display all appointments for the given date (see -d option).

  week	      Display the full week that contains the given date, starting
	      with Sunday.

  month	      Display the entire month that contains the given date.

DESCRIPTION

  The dtcm_delete utility is a non-GUI interface to the CDE calendar and
  appointment services. It is used to delete appointments from the calendar
  database via the RPC daemon rpc.cmsd(1m). Appointments are deleted one at a
  time. Each of the components of an appointment is specified using one of
  the command-line options. The current list of appointments for the
  specified date (see the -d and -v options) is displayed, with numbering
  done sequentially from 1 onwards. The user is prompted for the number to
  delete. Once an appointment is deleted, the list of remaining appointments
  is redisplayed. At this point the user can specify another number, or just
  use carriage-return to quit.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

  The following environment variables affect the execution of dtcm_delete:

  LANG
      Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are
      unset or null. If LANG is unset or null, the corresponding value from
      the implementation-specific default locale will be used. If any of the
      internationalization variables contains an invalid setting, the utility
      behaves as if none of the variables had been defined.

  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.
