== NAME ==<br />
rm, rmdir - remove (unlink) files<br />
<br />
== SYNOPSIS ==<br />
rm [ -fri ] file ...<br />
<br />
rmdir dir ...<br />
<br />
== DESCRIPTION ==<br />
_R_m removes the entries for one or more files from a direc-<br />
tory. If an entry was the last link to the file, the file<br />
is destroyed. Removal of a file requires write permission<br />
in its directory, but neither read nor write permission on<br />
the file itself.<br />
<br />
If a file has no write permission and the standard input is<br />
a terminal, its permissions are printed and a line is read<br />
from the standard input. If that line begins with `y' the<br />
file is deleted, otherwise the file remains. No questions<br />
are asked when the -f (force) option is given.<br />
<br />
If a designated file is a directory, an error comment is<br />
printed unless the optional argument -r has been used. In<br />
that case, _r_m recursively deletes the entire contents of the<br />
specified directory, and the directory itself.<br />
<br />
If the -i (interactive) option is in effect, _r_m asks whether<br />
to delete each file, and, under -r, whether to examine each<br />
directory.<br />
<br />
_R_m_d_i_r removes entries for the named directories, which must<br />
be empty.<br />
<br />
== SEE ALSO ==<br />
[[32v 2m unlink|unlink(2)]]<br />
<br />
== DIAGNOSTICS ==<br />
Generally self-explanatory. It is forbidden to remove the<br />
file `..' merely to avoid the antisocial consequences of<br />
inadvertently doing something like `rm -r .*'.<br />
