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.
