DELFIL is a program which deletes files. Its function is mainly to
delete files which PIP can't - files with rib errors.
The command string is of the form:
*DEV:FILE.EXT[PROJ,PROG,SFD1,....]/SWITCH
where "DEV:" is DSK: or some file-structure name, "FILE.EXT" is a
particular file name, a UFD name, or omitted
Switches include:
/C - Delete all empty UFDs (of PPNs which aren't logged in) from device
DEV (FILE.EXT is ignored)
/D - Delete the named file (tries to delete with regular RENAME, if that
fails, it uses SUPER USETO)
/S - Delete with SUPER USETO, even if no RIB error exists
/R - Delete all (and only) those files from the named UFD which have RIB
errors
NOTE that the disk space for a file is not returned if a file is deleted
with SUPER USETO until the disk is refreshed.
