RMDIR(I) 3/15/72 RMDIR(I) 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. - 1 -
