DESCRIPTION
The remove object command removes a value from a set-valued or single-
valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of an
object entry. If you do not specify a value, the command removes the
entire attribute. This command can delete attributes created by the
add object and set object commands. Usually, this task is performed
through the client application. See the OSF DCE Administration Guide
for more information about attributes.
Privilege Required
You must have write permission to the object entry.
NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may
not be provided in future releases of DCE.
