MPE/iX Shell and Utilities Reference Manual, Vol 2

rm(1) MPE/iX Shell and Utilities rm(1)
MPE/iX NOTES
Although groups and accounts are treated as directories in the hierarchical file system, the cur-
rent MPE/iX implementation of rm does not allow you to remove the root directory, account
directories, or group directories. Do not attempt to use the –r or –R options to remove them.
In addition, this release of
MPE/iX does not provide the lstat() API. As a result, this com-
mand cannot return information on the link itself. It attempts to determine when a symbolic
link has been referenced, but can only return the information on the target of the link, rather
than the link itself.
On
MPE/iX, rm is available as both a built-in shell utility and an external utility.
For more information on how the current MPE/iX implementation may affect the operation of
this utility, see Appendix A, MPE/iX Implementation Considerations.
