Usages

  1. otdelete [-v] table/operator [table/operator ...] otl_file

The table value specifies the class of the operator you want to modify. A list of valid table names is found in the help for the otwrite command. The operator value is the name of the specific operator type. Either or both or the table and operator values can contain wild card characters. Any number of table/operator pairs can be specified.

The otl_file is the name of the operator type library file from which the definitions are to be deleted.

If you delete an operator in use by Houdini, and there are no other definitions for this operator available in other operator type libraries, an empty replacement operator definition is added to the embedded operator type library in the Hip file. This embedded definition will not be saved to disk until you save the Hip file, and then only if the option to save operator definitions to the Hip file is on.

Options

-v

Outputs the name of each operator type that is deleted.
