To remove a single entry from a table, use the -r option:
nistbladm -r indexed-name |
This example removes the Manf-1 entry from the depts table:
rootmaster% nistbladm -r [Dept=Manf-1,Site=Emeryville,Name=hosteen],\ depts.doc.com. |
You can specify as few column values as you wish. If NIS+ finds duplicates, it does not remove any entry and returns an error message instead. Thus, you could have removed the Manf-1 by specifying only the Site column value, as in this example:
rootmaster% nistbladm -r [Site=Emeryville],depts.doc.com. |
However, you could not have removed the Sales entry by specifying only the Site column value (SanFran), because two entries have that same value (R&D and Sales):
Dept |
Site |
Name |
---|---|---|
R&D |
SanFran |
kuznetsov |
Sales |
SanFran |
jhill |
Manf-1 |
Emeryville |
hosteen |
Manf-2 |
Sausalito |
