Deletes subtrees of records from the configuration file.

Syntax


  PURGECONF [pathname]

Parameters

pathname

The name of a path in the configuration file that describes the location of the desired subtree. It is composed of one to eight path identifiers separated by periods. The format for the pathname is:

pathid.pathid.pathid...

The last pathid specified must not exist in the configuration file. The second to last pathid must exist.

Description

PURGECONF purges records from the configuration file. It functions in the same way as the DELETE function key on screens (like the NETXPORT.NI screen) that require you to delete, rename, add, or modify a configuration subtree. Note that the subtree will be purged whether or not it contains data.
