- -- rm --
-
- Remove (delete) one or more files.
-
- Synonym:
- del
-
- Usage:
- rm [-R] [-S#] <file1> [file2] [...]
-
- This command will remove one or more files. Normally it will not remove
- directories. To remove a directory, use the 'rmdir' command.
-
- Options:
- -R : Force recursive deletion, including directories.
- -S[number] : Securely delete the file by overwriting it with random
- data (number minus 1 times) and then NULLs, and then
- deleting the file. The default number value is 5 if no
- value is supplied.
-
- Note the -S option is not allowed if the -R option is used.
