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.
