remove--Remove an entry from the repository

• remove [-lR] [files...]
• Requires: Working directory.
• Changes: Working directory.
• Synonyms: rm, delete

Use this command to declare that you wish to remove files from the source repository. Like most CVS commands, `cvs remove' works on files in your working directory, not directly on the repository. As a safeguard, it also requires that you first erase the specified files from your working directory.

The files are not actually removed until you apply your changes to the repository with commit; at that point, the corresponding RCS files in the source repository are moved into the `Attic' directory (also within the source repository).

This command is recursive by default, scheduling all physically removed files that it finds for removal by the next commit. Use the `-l' option to avoid this recursion, or just specify the actual files that you wish removed.

• remove options: remove options
• remove examples: remove examples
