NAME
     nisrm - remove NIS] objects from the namespace

SYNOPSIS
     nisrm [-if] name...


DESCRIPTION
     The nisrm command removes NIS] objects named name  from  the
     NIS] namespace.


     This command will fail if the NIS] master server is not run-
     ning.


     This command will not remove directories.  See  nisrmdir(1).
     Nor will it remove non-empty tables. See nistbladm(1).

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -i    Interactive mode. Like the system  rm(1)  command  the
           nisrm  command  will  ask  for  confirmation  prior to
           removing an object. If the name specified by name is a
           non-fully  qualified  name  this  option is forced on.
           This prevents the removal of unexpected objects.


     -f    Force. The removal is attempted, and if it  fails  for
           permission  reasons,  a   nischmod(1) is attempted and
           the removal retried. If the command  fails,  it  fails
           silently.


OPERANDS
     The following operand is supported:

     name    A NIS] named object.


EXAMPLES
     Example 1 Using the nisrm Command


     Remove the objects  foo, bar, and baz from the namespace:


       example% nisrm foo bar baz
