ttrmdir(1) ToolTalk Commands ttrmdir(1)NAMEttrmdir - remove empty directories and inform the ToolTalk service
SYNOPSISttrmdir [−L] directory ...
ttrmdir −h ⎪ −v
DESCRIPTION
The ttrmdir utility invokes rmdir(1) to remove empty directories and
informs ToolTalk about its actions so that the ToolTalk objects associ‐
ated with the deleted directories can also be deleted.
The ttrmdir utility removes the ToolTalk objects before it removes the
directories and does not check whether a directory is empty or whether
the directory-removing operation will succeed before performing the
object-removing operation.
OPTIONS
The following options are available:
−h Write a help message for invoking ttrmdir and then exit.
−L Remove the ToolTalk objects of the directories, but do not
invoke rmdir(1) to remove the actual directories.
−v Write the version number of ttrmdir and then exit.
The −p option to cp(1) is not supported.

The following operand is supported:

A pathname of an empty directory to be removed.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of ttrmdir:
LANG Provide a default value for the internationalization

the variables had been defined.

ues of all the other internationalization variables.
