 NAME

   delete child - Deletes a child pointer from the namespace

 SYNOPSIS

   cdscp delete child child-name

 ARGUMENTS

   child-name
             The full name of the child pointer.

 DESCRIPTION

   The delete child command deletes a child pointer from the namespace.

   Privilege Required

   You must have delete permission to the child pointer or administer
   permission to the parent directory.

 NOTES

   Use the delete child command only when the directory to which the
   child pointer refers is deleted and the child pointer accidentally
   remains.

   This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and
   may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

 EXAMPLE

   The following command deletes the child pointer that accidentally
   remains after the /.:/sales/east directory is deleted:

        cdscp> delete child /.:/sales/east
