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). For a list of objects to which hyperlinks can be attached, see the mkhlink reference page.
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
ACL authorization
- To remove a hyperlink rom a policy, rolemap, or VOB: mod-hlink, read-info on VOB object
- To remove a hyperlink from a version or element: mod-hlink on the element, read-info on element, read-info on VOB object
- Other operations: read-info on VOB object; further, the principal must assume one of the non-ACL authorization identities
Non-ACL authorization
You must have one of the following identities:
- Element owner
- Element group member
- Object owner
- Object group member
- VOB owner
- root (UNIX and Linux)
- Member of the ClearCase administrators group (ClearCase 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 system and Linux examples in this section are written for use in csh. If you use another shell, you might 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 might 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 system and Linux shells or Windows command interpreter prompt, followed by the cleartool command. In cleartool interactive mode, cmd-context represents the interactive cleartool prompt.
