rm - remove directory entries

rm [-fiPrR] file ...

DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

  • -f - do not prompt the user for each file, and do not consider it an error if a file cannot be removed

  • -i - prompt the user for each file.

  • -P - a no-op, for compatibility. So implementations would overwrite files with random data

  • -r - same as -R
