ttrm(1)

NAME
ttrm - remove files or directories and inform the ToolTalk service

SYNOPSIS
ttrm [-frL] pathname ...

ttrm -h | -v

DESCRIPTION
The ttrm utility invokes rm(1) to remove files and directories and informs ToolTalk about its actions so that the ToolTalk objects associated with the deleted files and directories can also be deleted.

The ttrm utility removes the ToolTalk objects before it removes the files and does not check whether the file-removing operation will succeed before performing the object-removing operation.

OPTIONS
The following options are available:

    Force. Do not report any errors, and pass the -f option to rm(1). Write a help message for invoking ttrm and then exit. Remove the ToolTalk objects of the files or directories, but do not invoke rm(1) to remove the actual files or directories. Recursively remove the ToolTalk objects of any directories named, along with their files (including any subdirectories and their files), and pass the -r option to rm(1). Write the version number of ttrm and then exit.

The -i or -R options to rm(1) are not supported.

OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:

    A pathname of a file 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 ttrm:

    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. If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the other internationalization variables. 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. Determine the location of message catalogues for the processing of LC_MESSAGES.

RESOURCES
None.

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

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

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

STDERR
Used only for diagnostic messages.

OUTPUT FILES
None.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
None.

EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:

    All files and ToolTalk objects were removed successfully. An error occurred or the invoked rm(1) command exited with a non-zero value.

CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
Default.

FILES

/mountpoint/TT_DB
    The directory used as a database for the ToolTalk objects of files in the file system mounted at /mountpoint.
