[DESCRIPTION]
|
|
This manual page
|
|
documents the GNU version of
|
|
.BR rm .
|
|
.B rm
|
|
removes each specified file. By default, it does not remove
|
|
directories.
|
|
.P
|
|
If a file is unwritable, the standard input is a tty, and
|
|
the \fI\-f\fR or \fI\-\-force\fR option is not given,
|
|
.B rm
|
|
prompts the user for whether to remove the file. If the response
|
|
does not begin with `y' or `Y', the file is skipped.
|
|
.LP
|
|
GNU
|
|
.BR rm ,
|
|
like every program that uses the getopt function to parse its
|
|
arguments, lets you use the
|
|
.I \-\-
|
|
option to indicate that all following arguments are non-options. To
|
|
remove a file called `\-f' in the current directory, you could type
|
|
either
|
|
.RS
|
|
rm \-\- \-f
|
|
.RE
|
|
or
|
|
.RS
|
|
rm ./\-f
|
|
.RE
|
|
The Unix
|
|
.B rm
|
|
program's use of a single `\-' for this purpose predates the
|
|
development of the getopt standard syntax.
