ttrmdir(1) USER 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 direc-
tories and informs ToolTalk about its actions so that the
ToolTalk objects associated 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 direc-
tory is empty or whether the directory-removing operation
will succeed before performing the object-removing opera-
tion.
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 direc-
tories.
-v Write the version number of ttrmdir and then exit.
The -p option to cp(1) is not supported.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
directory
A pathname of an empty directory to be removed.

LANG Provide a default value for the interna-
tionalization variables that are unset or
null. If LANG is unset or null, the
corresponding value from the
implementation-specific default locale
will be used. If any of the internation-
alization variables contains an invalid
setting, the utility behaves as if none of
the variables had been defined.
LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, over-
ride the values of all the other interna-
tionalization variables.
LC_MESSAGES Determine the locale that is used to
affect the format and contents of diagnos-
tic messages written to standard error and
informative messages written to standard

gues for the processing of LC_MESSAGES.
