NAME
rm - remove files or directories
SYNOPSIS
rm
[OPTION]... FILE...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page
documents the GNU version of
rm.
rm
removes each specified 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
is not affirmative, the file is skipped.
OPTIONS
Remove (unlink) the FILE(s).
-d, --directory
unlink FILE, even if it is a non-empty directory
(super-user only; this works only if your system
supports `unlink' for nonempty directories)
-f, --force
ignore nonexistent files, never prompt
-i, --interactive
prompt before any removal
--no-preserve-root do not treat `/' specially (the default)
--preserve-root
fail to operate recursively on `/'
-r, -R, --recursive
remove directories and their contents recursively
-v, --verbose
explain what is being done
--help
display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
By default, rm does not remove directories. Use the --recursive (-r or -R)
option to remove each listed directory, too, along with all of its contents.
To remove a file whose name starts with a `-', for example `-foo',
use one of these commands:
rm ---foo
rm ./-foo
Note that if you use rm to remove a file, it is usually possible to recover
the contents of that file. If you want more assurance that the contents are
truly unrecoverable, consider using shred.
