Originální popis anglicky:
rmdir - remove empty directories
Návod, kniha: General Commands Manual
rmdir [options] directory...
POSIX options:
[-p] [--]
GNU options (shortest form):
[-p] [--ignore-fail-on-non-empty]
[--help] [--version] [--]
rmdir removes empty directories.
If any
directory argument does not refer to an existing empty directory,
it is an error.
- -p
- If directory includes more than one pathname
component, remove it, then strip the last component and remove the
resulting directory, etc., until all components have been removed. Thus,
`rmdir -p a/b/c' is equivalent to `rmdir a/b/c; rmdir a/b; rmdir a'.
- --
- Terminate option list.
- --ignore-fail-on-non-empty
- Normally rmdir will refuse to remove a directory
that is not empty. This option causes rmdir to ignore the failure
to remove a directory, if that failure is due to the directory being
non-empty. (New in fileutils-4.0.)
- -p, --parents
- As above.
- --help
- Print a usage message on standard output and exit
successfully.
- --version
- Print version information on standard output, then exit
successfully.
- --
- Terminate option list.
The variables LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE and LC_MESSAGES have the usual meaning.
