DOSDEL(1,C) AIX Commands Reference DOSDEL(1,C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- dosdel PURPOSE Deletes DOS files. SYNTAX +-------------------+ dosdel --| +-----------+ |--- file --| | | -v | | +---| -D device |---+ ^ +-----------+ | +---------------+ DESCRIPTION The dosdel command deletes the DOS file specified by file. Use the -v flag to obtain format information about the disk. File-naming conventions are the same as DOS, with one exception: the doswrite command replaces the \ (backslash) character used to separate components of a DOS path name with the / (slash) character. The dosdel command converts lowercase characters in the file parameter to uppercase before it checks the disk. Because the file name is assumed to be the full (not relative) path name, you need not add the initial / (slash). FLAGS -D device Specifies a device or file system to use as the DOS disk. If you do not specify this flag, the default device is /dev/fd0. -v Writes format information about the disk. Use primarily to verify the identify of a disk or file system as a DOS disk. RELATED INFORMATION See the following commands: "dosdir," "dosread," and "doswrite." Processed November 8, 1990 DOSDEL(1,C) 1
