NAME dtcm_delete - delete appointments from the calendar database SYNOPSIS dtcm_delete [-c calendar] [-d date] [-v view] DESCRIPTION The dtcm_delete utility is non-GUI interface to the CDE calendar and appointment services, used to delete appointments from the calendar database via the RPC daemon rpc.cmsd(1). Appointments are deleted one at a time. Each of the components of an appointment is specified using one of the command-line options. The current list of appointments for the specified date (see the -d and -v options) is displayed, numbered sequentially starting with 1. The user is prompted for the number to delete. Once an appointment is deleted, the list of remaining appointments is redisplayed. At this point the user can specify another number, or just <carriage-return> to quit. OPTIONS The following options are available: -c calendar Specify the name of the target calendar. Calendar names typically take the form user@hostname, where user is a user's login name and hostname is the host machine name. An example is felix@cat. If no target calendar is specified, the calendar defaults to the current user at the current host machine. -d date Specify the date for the appointment(s) to be deleted. The date is specified using the form mm/dd/yy, where mm, dd and yy are the two-digit month, day and year modulo 100, respectively. Certain other references such as ``today,'' ``Tuesday,'' ``tomorrow,'' etc. are correctly calculated. If no date is specified, date defaults to today's date. -v view Specify the view span of appointments to display. The view option-argument can be: day Display all appointments for the given date (see -d option). week Display the full week that contains the given date, starting with Sunday. month Display the entire month that contains the given date. OPERANDS None. STDIN The standard input is used to receive user replies to the list of appointments to be deleted. INPUT FILES None. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES The following environment variables affect the execution of dtcm_delete: LANG Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null.

LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the other internationalization variables. LC_MESSAGES Determine the locale that is used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error and informative messages written to standard output.
