The
rmdir
utility removes the directory entry specified by
each
directory
argument, provided it is empty.
Arguments are processed in the order given.
In order to remove both a parent directory and a subdirectory
of that parent, the subdirectory
must be specified first so the parent directory
is empty when
rmdir
tries to remove it.
The following option is available:
|
| -p
|
| |
Each
directory
argument is treated as a pathname of which all
components will be removed, if they are empty,
starting with the last most component.
(See
rm(1)
for fully non-discriminant recursive removal.)
|
| -v
|
| |
Be verbose, listing each directory as it is removed.
