💅 RMDIR(1) — General Commands Manual 💅

✨ NAME ✨

rmdir — Remove the DIRECTORY(ies), if they are empty. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

rmdir [OPTION]... DIRECTORY...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so rmdir is literally here to Remove the DIRECTORY(ies), if they are empty. That’s the whole vibe: directory removal, but only when there’s nothing inside. 💖

Bestie, if the directory is non-empty, that’s a no from the command — the empty check is the main character. 💀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --ignore-fail-on-non-empty — ignore each failure that is solely because a directory is non-empty 🙈
  • -p, --parents — remove DIRECTORY and its ancestors; e.g., 'rmdir -p a/b/c' is similar to rmdir a/b/c a/b a 🧚
  • -v, --verbose — output a diagnostic for every directory processed 🔥
  • -h, --help — Print help 🫶
  • -V, --version — Print version 👑
  • <dirs> — the directory operands 🎀
