Remove Files or Directories Usage: hrm [-rfcHSxZilh-] pathname1 [ pathname2 ... ] rm can delete both files and directories. If you try to remove a file with one of the special mode bits set (see chmod) or a directory that's not empty, it'll refuse unless you use one of the options to let it know that's really what you mean. Options: -r Recursively remove non-empty directories. -f Force read-only files or directories to be removed. Also, warn about but otherwise ignore attempts to remove non- existent files. -H Hidden files or directories can be removed. -S System files or directories can be removed. -x All of the above. Same as -rfHS -c Continue even if errors are encountered attempting to process some files or directories. -Z Write binary zeros across any files being deleted before removing them, thus preventing anyone from recovering the data using an "undelete" program. -i Interactive: Ask before removing each object on the command line. -l Logging is on: Display the name of each file or directory as it's removed. -h Help (this screen.) -- End of options. (Useful if filenames start with "-".) |
