NAME

     rmdir  -  remove directory



SYNOPSIS

     rmdir dir ...



DESCRIPTION

     Rmdir removes (deletes) directories.  The directory must  be

     empty  (except  for the standard entries `.' and `..', which

     rmdir itself removes).  Write permission is required in  the

     directory in which the directory to be removed appears.



BUGS

     Needs a -r flag.

     Actually, write permission in the directory's parent is  not

     required.

     Mildly unpleasant consequences can follow  removal  of  your

     own or someone else's current directory.
