nisrm(1)




NAME

     nisrm - remove NIS+ objects from the namespace


SYNOPSIS

     nisrm [-if] name...


DESCRIPTION

     The nisrm command removes NIS+ objects named name  from  the
     NIS+ namespace.

     This command will fail if the NIS+ master server is not run-
     ning.

     This command will not remove directories.  See  nisrmdir(1).
     Nor will it remove non-empty tables. See nistbladm(1).


OPTIONS

     The following options are supported:

     -i    Interactive mode. Like the system  rm(1)  command  the
           nisrm  command  will  ask  for  confirmation  prior to
           removing an object. If the name specified by name is a
           non-fully  qualified  name  this  option is forced on.
           This prevents the removal of unexpected objects.

     -f    Force. The removal is attempted, and if it  fails  for
           permission  reasons,  a   nischmod(1) is attempted and
           the removal retried.  If the command fails,  it  fails
           silently.


OPERANDS

     The following operand is supported:

     name  A NIS+ named object.


EXAMPLES

     Example 1: Using the nisrm Command

     Remove the objects  foo, bar, and baz from the namespace:

     example% nisrm foo bar baz


ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

     NIS_PATH
           If this variable is set, and  the  NIS+  name  is  not
           fully  qualified,  each  directory  specified  will be
           searched  until  the  object  is  found.  See   nisde-
           faults(1).


EXIT STATUS

     The following exit values are returned:

     0     Successful operation.

     1     Operation failed.
