Purging Files Using File-Name Templates
You can purge more than one file at a time from the same subvolume or from separate
subvolumes by entering a list of file names. Separate the file names with spaces or with
commas. For example, these commands show two ways of punctuating a list of file
names:
Purging Files Using File-Name Templates
Another way to purge more than one file at a time is by using file-name templates using
an asterisk (*) as a wild card. In this example, all files that begin with SECT are purged.
Whether or not you specify a confirm option, the TACL program confirms the file-name
template before purging all files that match the template.
If you specify the CONFIRM option, the TACL program prompts for purge
confirmation of each file before deleting it.
You can also delete files with the File Utility Program (FUP). See Deleting Files on
page 7-17.
