ttrmdir(1)

NAME
  ttrmdir - remove empty directories and inform the ToolTalk service

SYNOPSIS
  ttrmdir [-L] directory ...

  ttrmdir -h | -v

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.

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.

STDIN
  Not used.

INPUT FILES
  The input files specified as operands can be of any file type.




ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
  The following environment variables affect the execution of ttrmdir:

  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.

RESOURCES
  None.

ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
  The ttrmdir utility takes the standard action for all signals.

STDOUT
  When the -h option is used, ttrmdir writes to standard output a help
  message in an unspecified format.

  When the -v option is used, ttrmdir writes to standard output a version
  number in an unspecified format.

STDERR
  Used only for diagnostic messages.

OUTPUT FILES

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

EXIT STATUS
  The following exit values are returned:

  0   All directories and ToolTalk objects were removed successfully.

      zero value.

		      objects of files in the file system mounted at
