   rm    ( 1 )

удалить файлы или каталоги (remove files or directories)

Имя (Name)

rm - remove files or directories

Синопсис (Synopsis)

rm [OPTION]... [FILE]...

Описание (Description)

This manual page documents the GNU version of rm.  rm removes
       each specified file.  By default, it does not remove directories.

If the -I or --interactive=once option is given, and there are more than three files or the -r, -R, or --recursive are given, then rm prompts the user for whether to proceed with the entire operation. If the response is not affirmative, the entire command is aborted.

Otherwise, if a file is unwritable, standard input is a terminal, and the -f or --force option is not given, or the -i or --interactive=always option is given, rm prompts the user for whether to remove the file. If the response is not affirmative, the file is skipped.


Параметры (Options)

Remove (unlink) the FILE(s).

-f, --force ignore nonexistent files and arguments, never prompt

-i prompt before every removal

-I prompt once before removing more than three files, or when removing recursively; less intrusive than -i, while still giving protection against most mistakes

--interactive[=WHEN] prompt according to WHEN: never, once (-I), or always (-i); without WHEN, prompt always

--one-file-system when removing a hierarchy recursively, skip any directory that is on a file system different from that of the corresponding command line argument

--no-preserve-root do not treat '/' specially

--preserve-root[=all] do not remove '/' (default); with 'all', reject any command line argument on a separate device from its parent

-r, -R, --recursive remove directories and their contents recursively

-d, --dir remove empty directories

-v, --verbose explain what is being done

--help display this help and exit

--version output version information and exit

By default, rm does not remove directories. Use the --recursive (-r or -R) option to remove each listed directory, too, along with all of its contents.

To remove a file whose name starts with a '-', for example '-foo', use one of these commands:

rm -- -foo

rm ./-foo

Note that if you use rm to remove a file, it might be possible to recover some of its contents, given sufficient expertise and/or time. For greater assurance that the contents are truly unrecoverable, consider using shred.
