ttrm(1) USER COMMANDS ttrm(1)NAMEttrm - remove files or directories and inform the ToolTalk
service
SYNOPSISttrm [-frL] pathname ...
ttrm-h | -v
DESCRIPTION
The ttrm utility invokes rm(1) to remove files and direc-
tories and informs ToolTalk about its actions so that the
ToolTalk objects associated 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 succeed 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 direc-
tories, 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 (includ-
ing 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
Not used.

The input files specified as operands can be of any file
type.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of
ttrm:
LANG Provide a default value for the interna-
tionalization variables that are unset or
null. If LANG is unset or null, the
corresponding value from the
implementation-specific default locale
will be used. If any of the internation-
alization 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, over-
ride the values of all the other interna-
tionalization variables.
LC_MESSAGES Determine the locale that is used to
affect the format and contents of diagnos-
tic messages written to standard error and
informative messages written to standard
output.
NLSPATH Determine the location of message catalo-
gues for the processing of LC_MESSAGES.
RESOURCES
None.
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 message 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
