Deletes the contents of a subtree that has just been merged or
appended to a new location and replaces the information with
soft links whose targets are the corresponding entries in the new
location.
SYNOPSIS
REPLACE SUBTREE tree-name[...] [WITH] LINK newtree-name
[EXCLUDE entry-type]
Arguments
tree-name
The full name of the topmost directory in the subtree.
newtree-name
The full name of the topmost directory in the target subtree.
entry-type
One or more of the following types of entries to exclude from the
change: objects, links, or directories. Use any combination of the
following entry-type specifiers, separating multiple arguments with
commas:
objects
links
directory directory name
Description
This command is useful after you have merged or appended a subtree
that contains clearinghouse object entries. For all entries except
clearinghouse object entries, this command deletes the entries in
a directory specified in tree-name and replaces them with soft
links. These soft links redirect lookups of the names from their
old (source) locations to their new (target) locations. Using
this command preserves both the clearinghouse object entry and
its enclosing directory while deleting the directory's contents
and replacing each name with an individual soft link. The optional
recursion notation (...) also applies the delete and replace
operation to the contents of all child directories of tree-name.
ACCESS RIGHTS
You must have read, write, and delete access to the directory you
specify as well as the contents of the directory. If you use the
command recursively, you also need read, write, and delete access
to all child directories (and their contents) of the directory you
specify.
