rmall \*- remove all
.sh SYNOPSIS
.bd /etc/rmall
[\c
.bd \*-f\c
] [\c
.bd \*-r\c
] [\c
.bd \*-d\c
] name
.bd "..."
.sh DESCRIPTION
.it Rmall
is similar to
.it rm(I)
except that it never finds the argument list too long.
It searches directories without using
.it glob(VIII)
and removes even files whose names begin with ``.'',
unlike
.it rm.
.s3
The
.bd \*-f
(override protection mode) and
.bd \*-r
(recurse to sub-directories)
are as in
.it rm(I).
The
.bd \*-d
option causes directories (that are empty) to be removed as well.
.s3
.it Rmall
is handy, but so devastating that it is restricted to the super-user.
.sh "SEE ALSO"
rm(I)
