attr/mvdel - Delete multi-values directly or via edit buffer
attr/mvdel ![object], attribute, value <, value ... >
attr/mvdel buffer, attribute, value <, value ... >
Identical to attr/del except that individual values may be selected for deletion within a multi-value attribute.
The value is an argument containing the data to remove from the attribute. If value is added to an edit buffer and is a register containing the type PSUNIT_TYPE_STRING or PSUNIT_TYPE_XVALUE and the instruction does not generate an error, then the register will be cleared as the data is now referenced elsewhere. In direct edit mode, the register containing the value will always be left intact.
See attr_del(5) for more information.
The following demonstrates the use of an edit buffer for removing multiple values from an attribute:
% Remove a list of attribute values attr/mvdel P0, [name], [Nicholas Nickleby], [David Copperfield], [Martin Chuzzlewit]
% Commit changes obj/commit P0
