.BI \-H " <hostname>"
The fully qualified domain name or IP address, in standard `quad' or `dotted

first looks in the directory
.BR ~archie/db ,
then
.BR ./db .
.TP
.BI \-w " <dir>"
The name of the directory in which the Archie webindex catalog resides. This
parameter overrides the default catalog name,
.BR ~archie/db/webindex ,
as well as the
.B \-M
option.
.TP
.BI \-h " <dir>"
The name of the Archie host database directory. By default, the program first
looks in
.BR ~archie/db/host_db ,
then
.BR ./host_db .
.TP
.BI \-p " <port>"
The port number at the Web site. The default value is 80.

.TP

the log file.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B delete_webindex
modifies and deactivates the appropriate entry in the auxiliary host database.
If the specified host does not exist in the webindex catalog, the program
prints an error message, then exits. Normally, this program is only invoked
by
.BR update_webindex (n).
.PP
When running
.B delete_webindex
from the command line, one should ensure
that no other processes are modifying the webindex catalog.
The exclusive locking mechanism provided by
.BR update_webindex (n),
is not available from the command line.
