<p>Hello Xorg,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There is an error in man page of xrdb utility. Man page says:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p></p>
<div><span style="font-family: Consolas,Courier,monospace;">-remove This option indicates tha</span><span style="font-family: Consolas,Courier,monospace;">t the specified prop</span><span style="font-family: Consolas,Courier,monospace;">erties should be</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Consolas,Courier,monospace;"> removed from the server</span><br>
<br>
It means that we can specify properties, directly on command line or using a resource file, to be deleted. But the utility does not take arguments into consideration and deletes the entire database. Looking at source code of xrdb.c confirms this behaviour.<br>
<br>
Either we should implement the selective deletion of entries from the resource database or correct the documentation.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Adesh<br>
