NAME              rm -- remove (unlink) files

SYNOPSIS'         rm name1 ...

DESCRIPTION       rm removes the entries for one or more files from a
                  directory. If an entry was the last link to the file, the
                  file is destroyed. Removal of a file requires write
                  permission in its directory, but neither read nor write
                  permission on the file itself.

                  Directories cannot be removed by rm; cf. rmdir.

FILES             none.


SEE ALSO          rmdir, for removing directories.

DIAGNOSTICS       If the file cannot be removed or does not exist, the name
                  of the file followed by a question mark is typed.

BUGS              rm probably should ask whether a read--only file is really
                  to be removed.
