NAME
       rmdir, rm  - remove (unlink) directories or files

SYNOPSIS
       rmdir dir ...

       rm [ -f ] [ -r ] [ -i ] [ - ] file ...

DESCRIPTION
       Rmdir removes entries for the named directories, which must be empty.

       Rm  removes  the entries for one or more files from a directory.	 If an
       entry was the last link to the file, the file is destroyed.  Removal of
       a file requires write permission in its directory, but neither read nor
       write permission on the file itself.

       If a file has no write permission and the standard input is a terminal,
       its permissions are printed and a line is read from the standard input.
       If that line begins with `y' the file is deleted,  otherwise  the  file
       remains.	 No questions are asked and no errors are reported when the -f
       (force) option is given.

       If a designated file is a directory, an error comment is printed unless
       the  optional  argument -r has been used.  In that case, rm recursively
       deletes the  entire  contents  of  the  specified  directory,  and  the
       directory itself.

       If  the -i (interactive) option is in effect, rm asks whether to delete
       each file, and, under -r, whether to examine each directory.

       The null option - indicates that all the arguments following it are  to
       be  treated as file names.  This allows the specification of file names
       starting with a minus.
