NAME
     rmdel - remove a delta from an SCCS file

SYNOPSIS
     rmdel -rSID files

DESCRIPTION
     rmdel removes the delta specified by the SID from each named SCCS file.
     The delta to be removed must be the newest (most recent) delta in its
     branch in the delta chain of each named SCCS file.  In addition, the
     specified must not be that of a version being edited for the purpose of
     making a delta (i. e., if a p-file [see get(1)] exists for the named SCCS
     file, the  specified must not appear in any entry of the p-file).

     The -r option is used for specifying the SID (SCCS IDentification) level
     of the delta to be removed.

     If a directory is named, rmdel behaves as though each file in the
     directory were specified as a named file, except that non-SCCS files
     (last component of the path name does not begin with s.)  and unreadable
     files are silently ignored.  If a name of - is given, the standard input
     is read; each line of the standard input is taken to be the name of an
     SCCS file to be processed; non-SCCS files and unreadable files are
     silently ignored.

     Simply stated, they are either (1) if you make a delta you can remove it;
     or (2) if you own the file and directory you can remove a delta.
