Synopsis
cdscp remove directory directory-name
attribute-name [= attribute-value]
Arguments
directory-name
The full name of the directory.

The name of a particular attribute. Specify only one attribute at a time. See The cds_attributes File in the OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components
for the list of attributes and corresponding data types that your application uses.
attribute-value

Description
The remove directory command removes a value from a set-valued or single-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of a directory. If you
do not specify a value, the command removes the entire attribute. This command can delete attributes created by the add directory and set directory commands. Usually this task is
performed through the client application. See the OSF DCE Administration Guide for more information about attributes.
Privileges Required
You must have w (write) permission to the directory.

This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
