NAME

rm - remove directory entries

SYNOPSIS

rm [-fiPrRv] file ...

DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

  • -f - do not prompt the user for each file, and do not consider it an error if a file cannot be removed

  • -i - prompt the user for each file.

  • -P - a no-op, for compatibility. So implementations would overwrite files with random data

  • -r - same as -R

  • -R - remove directories recursively

  • -v - show the name of each file after it is removed
