- NAME
- rm - remove files
- SYNOPSIS
- rm [-dfirvR] [+directory] [+force] [+interactive] [+recur-
- sive] [+verbose] path...
- DESCRIPTION
- This manual page documents the GNU version of rm. rm
- removes each given file. By default, it does not remove
- directories.
- If a file is unwritable, the standard input is a tty, and
- _ _____ the -f or +force option is not given, rm prompts the user
- for whether to remove the file. If the response does not
- begin with `y' or `Y', the file is skipped.
- GNU rm, like every program that uses the getopt function to
- parse its arguments, lets you use the -- option to indicate
- that all following arguments are non-options. To remove a
- file called `-f' in the current directory, you could type
- either
- rm -- -f
- or
- rm ./-f
- The Unix rm program's use of a single `-' for this purpose
- predates the development of the getopt standard syntax.
- OPTIONS
- _ _________ -d, +directory
- Remove directories with `unlink' instead of `rmdir',
- and don't require a directory to be empty before trying
- to unlink it. Only works for the super-user.
- _ _____ -f, +force
- Ignore nonexistent files and never prompt the user.
- _ ___________ -i, +interactive
- Prompt whether to remove each file. If the response
- does not begin with `y' or `Y', the file is skipped.
- _ _ _________ -r, -R, +recursive
- Remove the contents of directories recursively.
- _ _______ -v, +verbose
- Print the name of each file before removing it.
