Deletes subtrees of records from the configuration file.
Syntax
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.
