NAME
rmcp - remove NILFS2 checkpoints

SYNOPSIS
rmcp [options] [device|node] 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. device may be a block device or a filesystem node (file or directory) on the filesystem. 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.

-i, --interactive
    Prompt before any removal.
