NAME

       dndel - Delete a file on a VMS system

SYNOPSIS

       dndel [options] file-name
       Options:
       [-ivVh]

DESCRIPTION

       dndel  deletes  files held on VMS systems. The filename parameter may specify a single file or a wildcard
       (remember to use VMS wildcards).

       If you specify -i or -v then dndel will open two connections to the  VMS  machine  (much  as  VMS  itself
       does). Otherwise it will attempt to use a single connection. One side-effect of this is that the deletion
       process will fail at the first file that cannot be deleted.

OPTIONS

       -i     Interactive. Prompt before deleting a file.

       -v     Verbose. Print the names of files that have been deleted

       -T connect timeout
              Specifies  the  maximum  amount  of  time the command will wait to establish a connection with the
              remote node. a 0 here will cause it to wait forever. The default is 60 seconds

       -h -?  Displays help for using the command.

       -V     Show the version of the tools package that dndel comes from.

EXAMPLES

         dndel -i 'myvax::oldfile;*'

         dndel 'tramp"christine pjc123"::interactive'
