NAME rm -- remove (unlink) files
SYNOPSIS rm name ...
1
DESCRIPTION rm removes the entries for one or more files from
a directory. If an entry was the last link to
the file, the file is destroyed. Removal of a
file requires write permission in its directory,
but neither read nor write permission on the file
itself.
Directories cannot be removed by rm; cf. rmdir.
FILES none
SEE ALSO rmdir, for removing directories.
DIAGNOSTICS If the file cannot be removed or does not exist,
the name of the file followed by a question mark
is typed.
BUGS rm probably should ask whether a read-only file
is really to be removed.
