NAME

     er_rm - remove performance	experiments.


SYNOPSIS

     er_rm [-f]	experiment-list

     er_rm -V


DESCRIPTION

     er_rm removes one or more experiments or  experiment  groups
     specified	by  experiment-list. To	remove an experiment, you
     need write	permission in the  directory  that  contains  the
     experiment.   You	do not need to have read or write permis-
     sion on the experiment itself.  When an experiment	group  is
     specified,	 er_rm removes the group file and all the experi-
     ments in the group. er_rm removes experiments recorded  with
     earlier versions of the tools.

     CAUTION - Do not use the UNIX rm command to remove	an exper-
     iment  recorded  with  earlier  versions because it does not
     remove all	parts of the experiment. ALWAYS	 use  er_rm.  For
     experiments  recorded  with  this	version	of the tools, the
     Unix command rm -r	can be used, since the directory contain-
     ing all experiment	files is visible.


OPTIONS

     -f	   Suppress  any  error	 message,  and	always	 succeed,
	   whether  the	 experiments  to  be removed are found or
	   not.

     -V	   Report the version of er_rm.


DIAGNOSTICS

     er_rm:		 experiment: No	such experiment.
