remove object(8cds)

Synopsis

cdscp remove object object-name
attribute-name [= attribute-value]

Arguments

object name
The full name of the object entry.

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

attribute-value
The value of a particular attribute. The value of an application-defined attribute is dependent on the type of attribute.

Description
The remove object command removes a value from a set-valued or single-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of an object entry. If you do not specify a value, the command removes the entire attribute. This command can delete attributes created by the add object and set object commands. Usually, this task is performed through the client application. See the OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components for more information about attributes.

Privileges Required
You must have w (write) permission to the object entry.

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

Examples
To remove the value ps from the attribute printcap of an object entry named /.:/mlh/deskprinter, follow these steps:

1. Read The cds_attributes File in Appendix B of the OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components to check that the attribute printcap is listed, as shown in the following display:
