DESCRIPTION

removef informs the system that the user, or software, intends to remove a pathname. Output from removef is the list of input pathnames that may be safely removed (no other packages have a dependency on them).

OPTIONS

-f
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
