- This manual page documents the GNU version of r✓rm✓m. r✓rm✓m
- 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 _✓-_✓-_✓f_✓o_✓r_✓c_✓e option is not given, r✓rm✓m prompts the user
- for whether to remove the file. If the response does not
- begin with `y' or `Y', the file is skipped.
-
- GNU r✓rm✓m, 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 r✓rm✓m program's use of a single `-' for this purpose
- predates the development of the getopt standard syntax.

- _✓-_✓d_✓, _✓-_✓-_✓d_✓i_✓r_✓e_✓c_✓t_✓o_✓r_✓y
- 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. Because unlinking a directory causes
- any files in the deleted directory to become unref-
- erenced, it is wise to f✓fs✓sc✓ck✓k the filesystem after
- doing this.
-
- _✓-_✓f_✓, _✓-_✓-_✓f_✓o_✓r_✓c_✓e
- Ignore nonexistent files and never prompt the user.
-
- _✓-_✓i_✓, _✓-_✓-_✓i_✓n_✓t_✓e_✓r_✓a_✓c_✓t_✓i_✓v_✓e
- Prompt whether to remove each file. If the
- response does not begin with `y' or `Y', the file
- is skipped.
-
- _✓-_✓r_✓, _✓-_✓R_✓, _✓-_✓-_✓r_✓e_✓c_✓u_✓r_✓s_✓i_✓v_✓e
- Remove the contents of directories recursively.
-
- _✓-_✓v_✓, _✓-_✓-_✓v_✓e_✓r_✓b_✓o_✓s_✓e
- Print the name of each file before removing it.
-
- _✓-_✓-_✓h_✓e_✓l_✓p Print a usage message on standard output and exit
- successfully.
