NAME
       recdel -	remove records from a recfile

SYNOPSIS
       recdel  [OPTIONS]...  [-t  TYPE]	[-n NUM	| -e RECORD_EXPR | -q STR | -m
       NUM] [FILE]

DESCRIPTION
       Remove (or comment out) records from a rec file.

       -c, --comment
	      comment out the matching records instead of deleting them.

       --force
	      delete even in potentially  dangerous  situations,  and  if  the
	      deletion is violating record restrictions.

       --no-external
	      don't use	external descriptors.

       --verbose
	      give a detailed report if	the integrity check fails.

       --help print a help message and exit.

       --version
	      show version and exit.

   Record selection options:
       -i, --case-insensitive
	      make strings case-insensitive in selection expressions.

       -t, --type=TYPE
	      operate on records of the	specified type only.

       -e, --expression=RECORD_EXPR
	      selection	expression.

       -q, --quick=STR
	      select records with fields containing a string.

       -n, --number=NUM,...
	      select specific records by position, with	ranges.

       -m, --random=NUM
	      select a given number of random records.

       If  no  FILE  is	specified then the command acts	like a filter, getting
       the data	from standard input and	writing	the result to standard output.
