It was generated by help2man 1.35. -.TH RM "1" "May 2012" "GNU coreutils 8.17" "User Commands" -.SH NAME -rm \- remove files or directories -.SH SYNOPSIS -.B rm -[\fIOPTION\fR]... \fIFILE\fR... -.SH 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 the \fI\-I\fR or \fI\-\-interactive\=once\fR option is given, -and there are more than three files or the \fI\-r\fR, \fI\-R\fR, -or \fI\-\-recursive\fR are given, then -.B rm -prompts the user for whether to proceed with the entire operation. If -the response is not affirmative, the entire command is aborted. -.P -Otherwise, if a file is unwritable, standard input is a terminal, and -the \fI\-f\fR or \fI\-\-force\fR option is not given, or the -\fI\-i\fR or \fI\-\-interactive\=always\fR option is given, -.B rm -prompts the user for whether to remove the file. If the response is -not affirmative, the file is skipped. -.SH OPTIONS -.PP -Remove (unlink) the FILE(s). -.TP -\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-force\fR -ignore nonexistent files and arguments, never prompt -.TP -\fB\-i\fR -prompt before every removal -.TP -\fB\-I\fR -prompt once before removing more than three files, or -when removing recursively. Less intrusive than \fB\-i\fR, -while still giving protection against most mistakes -.TP -\fB\-\-interactive\fR[=\fIWHEN\fR] -prompt according to WHEN: never, once (\fB\-I\fR), or -always (\fB\-i\fR). Without WHEN, prompt always -.TP -\fB\-\-one\-file\-system\fR -when removing a hierarchy recursively, skip any -directory that is on a file system different from -that of the corresponding command line argument -.TP -\fB\-\-no\-preserve\-root\fR -do not treat '/' specially -.TP -\fB\-\-preserve\-root\fR -do not remove '/' (default) -.TP -\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-R\fR, \fB\-\-recursive\fR -remove directories and their contents recursively -.TP -\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR -explain what is being done -.TP -\fB\-\-help\fR -display this help and exit -.TP -\fB\-\-version\fR -output version information and exit -.PP -By default, rm does not remove directories. Use the \fB\-\-recursive\fR (\fB\-r\fR or \fB\-R\fR) -option to remove each listed directory, too, along with all of its contents. -.PP -To remove a file whose name starts with a '\-', for example '\-foo', -use one of these commands: -.IP -rm \fB\-\-\fR \fB\-foo\fR -.IP -rm ./\-foo -.PP -Note that if you use rm to remove a file, it might be possible to recover -some of its contents, given sufficient expertise and/or time. For greater -assurance that the contents are truly unrecoverable, consider using shred. -.SH AUTHOR -Written by Paul Rubin, David MacKenzie, Richard M.
