|{{commpkg uninstall \[_options_\] \[_installroot_\|_name_\]}}|
If you specify {{_installroot|name_}} on the command line, it is equivalent to specifying the {{\-\-rootdir}} option with either the specified {{_installroot_}} or the {{_installroot_}} corresponding to {{_name_}} in the software list. That is, the value must be consistent.
If you specify {{_name_}}, it must exist in the software list. Otherwise, an error is returned immediately. The {{_name_}} is looked up in the software list and is used for the {{_installroot_}}.
