1 HELP    Help may be obtained about Treedel  through  the  use  of  the  help    library  TREEDEL.HLB.   This file may be accessed by assigning it to    as a user supplied library as follows:    $ ASSIGN disk:[directory]TREEDEL.HLB HLP$LIBRARY    You may then request help on TREEDEL from standard VMS HELP.1 TREEDEL    The TREEDEL program provides a fast and efficient method of deleting    directories.   It  is  used  from  DCL in the same way as the DELETE    command, except that if the file to be deleted is a  directory  then    it is emptied first.    TREEDEL [command_qualifiers] <filespec>2 Command_Qualifiers/CONTENTS    /NOCONTENTS (D)    This qualifier will delete the contents of a directory but  not  the    directory  itself.  It provides an easy way to empty out a directory    structure./LOG    /NOLOG (D) /LOG=(FILES,DIRECTORIES)    This qualifier allows the user to log files as they are  deleted  or    directories  as  they  are  changed to and deleted.  It is sometimes    useful to know how far TREEDEL has got but the time taken to  report    progress  may  add  considerably to the delete time.  The default is    not to log progress.  If /LOG is specified without a value then only    the directories will be logged./UNPROTECT    /NOUNPROTECT (D)    This qualifier may be used  to  reset  protection  to  allow  delete    access  before  attempting  to  delete a file.  This is particularly    useful with directories as the  normal  protection  does  not  allow    owner delete access.    It should be emphasised that this  qualifier  can  not  be  used  to    bypass  normal  protection  so if the user can not change protection    then the deletion  will  fail.   If  the  user  has  enabled  BYPASS    privilege,  then  this  qualifier  is  totally unneccessary and will    degrade performance.2 Installation    TREEDEL has a standard DCL  interface  embedded  within  it  and  is    intended  to  be invoked as a foreign command.  It is suggested that    TREEDEL is defined in the user's LOGIN.COM as follows;    $TREEDEL:==$SYS$TOOLS:TREEDEL    This assumes that the executable image is in the location  SYS$TOOLS    as is usual on the Wilton VAX Cluster.2 Release_Notes    This is the second release of TREEDEL which is designed for  use  in    conjunction  with  VMS V4.0.  It provides a facility that many users    already have as a DCL command procedure, but it is much faster.    This release does not require a command language definition (CLD) to    be  loaded  before  use  as  was the case with the previous release.    This considerably speeds up the process of defining the command.3 Known_Problems    There are  no  known  problems  at  the  moment.   This  program  is    supported on an 'as is' basis by the Author.3 Restrictions    1.  TREEDEL can only be used from the DCL command line interpreter.
