Name

nisrm - remove NIS+ objects from the namespace

Synopsis

nisrm [ -if ] name...

Availability

SUNWnisu

Description

The nisrm command removes NIS+ objects named name from the NIS+ namespace.

This command will fail if the NIS+ master server is not running.

Options

-i
Interactive mode. Like the system rm(1) command the nisrm command will ask for confirmation prior to removing an object. If the name specified by name is a non-fully qualified name this option is forced on. This prevents the removal of unexpected objects.
-f
Force. The removal is attempted, and if it fails for permission reasons, a nischmod(1) is attempted and the removal retried. If the command fails, it fails silently.

Examples

Remove the objects foo, bar, and baz from the namespace.

example% nisrm foo bar baz

Environment

NIS_PATH
If this variable is set, and the NIS+ name is not fully qualified, each directory specified will be searched until the object is found (see nisdefaults(1) ).

Exit Codes

nisrm returns 0 on success and 1 on failure.

Notes

This command will not remove directories (see nisrmdir(1) ) nor will it remove non-empty tables (see nistbladm(1) ).
