DESCRIPTION
/usr/bin/rm, /usr/xpg4/bin/rm
The rm utility removes the directory entry specified by each file argu‐
ment. If a file has no write permission and the standard input is a
terminal, the full set of permissions (in octal) for the file are
printed followed by a question mark. This is a prompt for confirmation.
If the answer is affirmative, the file is deleted, otherwise the file
remains.
If file is a symbolic link, the link is removed, but the file or direc‐
tory to which it refers is not deleted. Users do not need write permis‐
sion to remove a symbolic link, provided they have write permissions in
the directory.
If multiple files are specified and removal of a file fails for any
reason, rm writes a diagnostic message to standard error, do nothing
more to the current file, and go on to any remaining files.
If the standard input is not a terminal, the utility operates as if the
-f option is in effect.
/usr/bin/rmdir
The rmdir utility removes the directory entry specified by each dirname
operand, which must refer to an empty directory.
Directories are processed in the order specified. If a directory and a
subdirectory of that directory are specified in a single invocation of
rmdir, the subdirectory must be specified before the parent directory
so that the parent directory is empty when rmdir tries to remove it.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported for /usr/bin/rm:
-r, -R, --recursive
Recursively removes directories and subdirectories in the argument
list. The directory is emptied of files and removed. The user is
normally prompted for removal of any write-protected files which
the directory contains. The write-protected files are removed with‐
out prompting, however, if the -f option is used, or if the stan‐
dard input is not a terminal and the -i option is not used.
Symbolic links that are encountered with this option is not tra‐
versed.
If the removal of a non-empty, write-protected directory is at‐
tempted, the utility always fails (even if the -f option is used),
resulting in an error message.
--help
Displays usage message and exits with return code 0.
-f, --force
Removes files (even if write-protected) in a directory without
prompting the user. In a write-protected directory, however, files
are never removed (whatever their permissions are) and no messages
are displayed.
-i
Interactive. With this option, rm prompts for confirmation before
removing any files. It overrides the -f option and remains in ef‐
fect even if the standard input is not a terminal.
-I
Prompts for confirmation if there more than three files; its less
intrusive than -i option. It overrides the -f option and remains in
effect even if the standard input is not a terminal
--interactive[=WHEN]
Prompts according to WHEN: never, once (-I), or always (-i). With‐
out WHEN, prompts always. It overrides the -f option and remains in
effect even if the standard input is not terminal.
--one-file-system
When removing recursively, skip directory from different file sys‐
tem from that of the corresponding command line argument.
--preserve-root
Do not operate recursively on '/'. This is the default.
--no-preserve-root
Do not treat '/' specially.
-v, --verbose
Give a diagnostic for every file processed.
/usr/xpg4/bin/rm
The following options are supported for /usr/xpg4/bin/rm:
-r, -R
Recursively removes directories and subdirectories in the argument
list. The directory is emptied of files and removed. The user is
normally prompted for removal of any write-protected files which
the directory contains. The write-protected files are removed with‐
out prompting, however, if the -f option is used, or if the stan‐
dard input is not a terminal and the -i option is not used.
Symbolic links that are encountered with this option is not tra‐
versed.
If the removal of a non-empty, write-protected directory is at‐
tempted, the utility always fails (even if the -f option is used),
resulting in an error message.
-f
Does not prompt for confirmation. Does not write diagnostic mes‐
sages or modify the exit status in the case of non-existent
operands. Any previous occurrences of the -i option is ignored.
-i
Prompts for confirmation. If the options -i and -f are both speci‐
fied, the last option takes the precedence.
/usr/bin/rmdir
The following options are supported for /usr/bin/rmdir only:
--help
Displays usage message and exits with status 0.
--ignore-fail-on-non-empty
Ignores failure that is solely because a directory is non-empty.
-p, --parents
Allows users to remove the directory dirname and its parent direc‐
tories which become empty. A message is printed to standard error
if all or part of the path could not be removed.
-s
Suppresses the message printed on the standard error when -p is in
effect.
-v, --verbose
Outputs a diagnostic for the directory or directories processed.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
file
Specifies the pathname of a directory entry to be removed.
dirname
Specifies the pathname of an empty directory to be removed.
EXAMPLES
The following examples are valid for the commands shown.
/usr/bin/rm, /usr/xpg4/bin/rm
Example 1 Removing Directories
The following command removes the directory entries a.out and core:
example% rm a.out core
Example 2 Removing a Directory without Prompting
The following command removes the directory junk and all its contents,
without prompting:
example% rm -rf junk
/usr/bin/rmdir
Example 3 Removing Empty Directories
If a directory a in the current directory is empty, except that it con‐
tains a directory b, and a/b is empty except that it contains a direc‐
tory c, the following command removes all three directories:
example% rmdir -p a/b/c
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(7) for descriptions of the following environment variables
that affect the execution of rm and rmdir: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE,
LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.
Affirmative responses are processed using the extended regular expres‐
sion defined for the yesexpr keyword in the LC_MESSAGES category of the
user's locale. The locale specified in the LC_COLLATE category defines
the behavior of ranges, equivalence classes, and multi-character col‐
lating elements used in the expression defined for yesexpr. The locale
specified in LC_CTYPE determines the locale for interpretation of se‐
quences of bytes of text data a characters, the behavior of character
classes used in the expression defined for the yesexpr. See locale(7).
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0
If the -f option was not specified, all the named directory entries
were removed; otherwise, all the existing named directory entries
were removed.
>0
An error occurred.

DIAGNOSTICS
It is forbidden to remove the files "." and ".." in order to avoid the
consequences of inadvertently doing something like the following:
example% rm -r .*
It is forbidden to remove the file "/" in order to avoid the conse‐
quences of inadvertently doing something like:
example% rm -rf $x/$y
or
example% rm -rf /$y
when $x and $y expand to empty strings.
NOTES
Files with names that start with the "−" character appear to rm as op‐
tions rather than operands, complicating their removal. The special op‐
tion "−−" (two hyphens) can be used to delimit the end of the options.
This feature can be used with rm to remove files with names that start
with a "−" character. See getopt(3C).
For compatibility with older systems, rm accepts − as a synonym for −−.
If a −− and a − both appear on the same command line, the second is in‐
terpreted as a file argument.
HISTORY

Support for the --ignore-fail-on-non-empty, --parents, -v, --verbose,
and --help options was added to rmdir in Solaris 11.4.0.
Support for operating recursively on the filesystem root (/) was re‐
moved from both rm commands in Solaris 10 3/05.
Support for the -R option was added to both rm commands in Solaris 2.5.
The /usr/xpg4/bin/rm command was added in Solaris 2.5.

The rm command, with support for the -f, -i, and -r options, has been
present in all Sun and Oracle releases of Solaris.
