rmhlink

Removed a hyperlink object

APPLICABILITY

SYNOPSIS

rmhlink [ -c·omment comment | -cfi·le comment-file-pname |-cq·uery

| -cqe·ach | -nc·omment ] hlink-selector ...

DESCRIPTION

The rmhlink command removes one or more hyperlinks from VOB-database objects. Hyperlinks can be attached to objects by the mkhlink command and by triggers (mktrtype -mkhlink). See the mkhlink reference page for a list of objects to which hyperlinks can be attached.

rmhlink deletes a reference to a hyperlink type object. To delete the hyperlink type object itself or the type object and all its instances, use the rmtype command.

To list existing hyperlinks, use the describe command, or use the find command with the hltype primitive.

RESTRICTIONS

Identities: You must have one of the following identities:

• Element owner

• Element group member

• Object owner

• Object group member

• VOB owner

• root (UNIX)

• Member of the ClearCase group (ClearCase on Windows)

• Local administrator of the ClearCase LT server host (ClearCase LT on Windows)

Locks: An error occurs if one or more of these objects are locked: VOB, element type, element, branch type, branch, hyperlink type. For non-file-system objects, an error occurs if the VOB, object, object type, or hyperlink type is locked.

Mastership: (Replicated VOBs only) Your current replica must master the hyperlink.

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS

EVENT RECORDS AND COMMENTS. Default: Creates one or more event records, with commenting controlled by your .clearcase_profile file (default: -nc). See the comments reference page. Comments can be edited with chevent.

-c·omment comment | -cfi·le comment-file-pname |-cq·uery | -cqe·ach | -nc·omment

Overrides the default with the option you specify. See the comments reference page.

SPECIFYING THE HYPERLINKS TO BE REMOVED.  Default: None.

hlink-selector ...

One or more names of hyperlink objects, in this form:

hyperlink-type-name@hyperlink-ID[@pname-in-vob]

Hyperlinks are not file system objects; you cannot specify them with command interpreter wildcards. The final component is required only for a hyperlink in another VOB. For example:

DesignFor@598f
RelatesTo@58843@/vobs/monet

EXAMPLES

The UNIX examples in this section are written for use in csh. If you use another shell, you may need to use different quoting and escaping conventions.

The Windows examples that include wildcards or quoting are written for use in cleartool interactive mode. If you use cleartool single-command mode, you may need to change the wildcards and quoting to make your command interpreter process the command appropriately.

In cleartool single-command mode, cmd-context represents the UNIX shell or Windows command interpreter prompt, followed by the cleartool command. In cleartool interactive mode, cmd-context represents the interactive cleartool prompt. In Attache, cmd-context represents the workspace prompt.

• Remove a hyperlink of type tested_by from the element cm_add.c. Use describe to determine the hyperlink selector.

cmd-context describe -long cm_add.c@@

cmd-context rmhlink tested_by@714

• Remove two hyperlinks from the src directory. Use describe to determine the hyperlink selectors.
