removef(ADM)
removef --
remove a file from software database
Syntax
removef pkginst path1 [ path2 ... ]
removef -f pkginst
Description
removef checks whether a pathname can be removed
safely from a particular package.
Output from removef is the list of input pathnames
that may be removed safely
(no other packages have a dependency on them).
After all files have been processed, removef
should be invoked with the -f option to indicate that the removal
phase is complete.
Examples
The following shows the use of removef in an optional
pre-install script:
echo "The following files are no longer part of this package
and are being removed."
removef $PKGINST /dev/xt[0-9][0-9][0-9] |
while read pathname
do
echo "$pathname"
rm -f $pathname
done
removef -f $PKGINST || exit 2
