rm − remove files
rm [−dfirvR] [−−directory] [−−force] [−−interactive] [−−recursive] [−−help] [−−version] [−−verbose] name...
This documentation is no longer being maintained and may be inaccurate or incomplete. The Texinfo documentation is now the authoritative source.
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 does not begin with ’y’ or ’Y’, the file is skipped.
GNU rm, 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 rm program’s use of a single ’−’ for this purpose predates the development of the getopt standard syntax.
OPTIONS
−d, −−directory
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 unreferenced, it is wise to fsck the filesystem after doing this.
−f, −−force
Ignore nonexistent files and never prompt the user.
−i, −−interactive
Prompt whether to remove each file. If the response does not begin with ’y’ or ’Y’, the file is skipped.
−r, −R, −−recursive
Remove the contents of directories recursively.
−v, −−verbose
Print the name of each file before removing it.
|
−−help |
Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully. |
−−version
Print version information on standard output then exit successfully.
