💅 IRMDIR(1) — an iRODS iCommand, bestie 💅

okay so this is the User Commands manual page for irmdir, and it's literally here to help you remove iRODS directories (collections) — but only the empty ones, bestie. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

irmdir — an iRODS iCommand. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

irmdir [-fpUvVh] [directory] ...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so irmdir removes the directory (collection) specified by each directory, provided that it is empty. That's the whole condition, bestie — empty or it's not happening. 🫶

Here are the flags, and yes, every single one matters:

  • -f — Force immediate removal of collections without putting them in the trash. No trash era, periodt. 💅
  • -U — Unregister collections instead of removing them. It's giving "leave the collection, just unregister" energy. 🦋
  • -p — Each directory (collection) argument is treated as a pathname of which all components will be removed, as long as they are empty, starting with the lastmost. Yes, lastmost. 🫶
  • -v — verbose. Chatty mode, but make it Unix. 💬
  • -V — Very verbose. Even more chatty mode. 😭
  • -h — this help. The "help me help you" flag. 🌸
