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 associ-
ated 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 suc-
ceed before performing the object-removing operation.
OPTIONS
The following options are available:
-f Force. Do not report any errors, and pass the -f option to
rm(1).
-h Write a help message for invoking ttrm and then exit.
-L Remove the ToolTalk objects of the files or directories, but
do not invoke rm(1) to remove the actual files or directories.
-r 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).
-v 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:
pathname
A pathname of a file to be removed.
STDIN

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of ttrm:
LANG Provide a default value for the internationalization
variables that are unset or null. If LANG is unset
or null, the corresponding value from the implementa-
tion-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.
LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the val-
ues of all the other internationalization variables.
LC_MESSAGES Determine the locale that is used to affect the for-
mat and contents of diagnostic messages written to
standard error and informative messages written to
standard output.
NLSPATH Determine the location of message catalogues for the
processing of LC_MESSAGES.
RESOURCES

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 mes-
sage 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.

0 All files and ToolTalk objects were removed successfully.
>0 An error occurred or the invoked rm(1) command exited with a
non-zero value.
