NAME
rmdir - remove directories
SYNOPSIS
rmdir [ p ] directory ...
DESCRIPTION
The rmdir utility removes the directory entry specified by each
directory argument, provided it is empty.
Arguments are processed in the order given. In order to remove
both a parent directory and a subdirectory of that parent, the
subdirectory must be specified first so the parent directory is
empty when rmdir tries to remove it.
The rmdir utility exits with one of the following values: Each
directory entry specified by a dir operand referred to an empty
directory and was removed successfully. An error occurred.
