dtcm_delete(1) USER COMMANDS dtcm_delete(1)NAMEdtcm_delete - delete appointments from the calendar database
SYNOPSISdtcm_delete [-c calendar] [-d date] [-v view]
DESCRIPTION
The dtcm_delete utility is non-GUI interface to the TED
calendar and appointment services, used to delete appoint-
ments from the calendar database via the RPC daemon
rpc.cmsd(1). Appointments are deleted one at a time. Each
of the components of an appointment is specified using one
of the command-line options. The current list of appoint-
ments for the specified date (see the -d and -v options) is
displayed, numbered sequentially starting with 1. The user
is prompted for the number to delete. Once an appointment
is deleted, the list of remaining appointments is
redisplayed. At this point the user can specify another
number, or just <carriage-return> to quit.
OPTIONS
The following options are available:
-c calendar
Specify the name of the target calendar. Calendar
names typically take the form user@hostname, where
user is a user's login name and hostname is the
host machine name. An example is felix@cat. If no
target calendar is specified, the calendar defaults
to the current user at the current host machine.
-d date
Specify the date for the appointment(s) to be
deleted. The date is specified using the form
mm/dd/yy, where mm, dd and yy are the two-digit
month, day and year modulo 100, respectively. Cer-
tain other references such as ``today,'' ``Tues-
day,'' ``tomorrow,'' etc. are correctly calcu-
lated. If no date is specified, date defaults to
today's date.
-v view
Specify the view span of appointments to display.
The view option-argument can be:
day Display all appointments for the given
date (see -d option).
week Display the full week that contains
the given date, starting with Sunday.
month Display the entire month that contains
