NAME

       rmcp - remove NILFS2 checkpoints

SYNOPSIS

       rmcp [options] [device] checkpoint-range ...

DESCRIPTION

       rmcp  is a utility for removing checkpoints from the NILFS2 file system
       found in device.  The  checkpoints  which  user  wants  to  remove  are
       specified  with one or more checkpoint-ranges.  When device is omitted,
       rmcp tries to find a NILFS2 file system from /proc/mounts.

       The checkpoint-range must be provided with one or two integers  in  one
       of the following way:

       cno    single checkpoint number

       start..end
              every checkpoint number between start and end

       ..end  every checkpoint number equal or younger than end

       start..
              every checkpoint number equal or greater than start

       This  command  is  valid only for mounted NILFS2 file systems, and will
       fail if the device has no active mounts.

OPTIONS

       -f     Ignore snapshots or nonexistent checkpoints.

       -i     Prompt before any removal.

       -h     Display help message and exit.
