1  PURGE
   Deletes all known file entries for images installed without the
   /NOPURGE qualifier.

   Requires the CMKRNL privilege. Also requires the SYSGBL privilege
   to create system global sections and the PRMGBL privilege to
   create permanent global sections.

   Format

     PURGE
 

2  Parameters
   None.
 

2  Description
   The PURGE command deletes all known file entries for images
   installed without the /NOPURGE qualifier.

   If a process is accessing global sections when the PURGE command
   is entered, the global sections are deleted only after the
   operation initiated by the process completes. However, once the
   command is entered, no additional processes can access the global
   sections because they are marked for deletion.
 

2  Example

 INSTALL> PURGE

     The command in this example deletes all images except those
     installed with the /NOPURGE qualifier. The image files remain
     unaffected. Writable global sections are written back to disk
     upon their removal as known images.
