NAME
     mdbm_remove - invalidate and remove mdbm files

SYNOPSIS
     mdbm_remove file ...

DESCRIPTION
     mdbm_remove will perform mdbm_invalidate and unlink on the listed files.
     mdbm_remove will NOT remove files that are not mdbm databases.

     This command is needed to remove any mdbm file where there may be a
     process that has opened the mdbm file.  The mdbm_invalidate call will
     cause any process to close the mdbm file on their next access.

DIAGNOSTICS
     mdbm_remove will exit with the number of files that it was unable to
     successfully invalidate or unlink.
