NAME

rm - remove (delete) files



SYNOPSIS

rm [-v] [-a] [files ....]



DESCRIPTION

Rm removes (deletes) the named files.  The -v option ("verbose")
causes rm to print the name of each file as it is removed.

The -a option ("ask") causes rm to print the message



name ?



for each file "name" that is to be removed and read one line
from the user's terminal.  If the line begins with "y", the file
is removed.
If the line begins with 'q', no further files in the list
are removed.
If the line begins with "g", the file is removed,
along with all subsequent files in the list,
and the -a option is turned off.
If the line begins with
anything else, the file is not removed.

If the filename '-' is specified as an argument,
the names of files to be removed
will be read from standard input, one per line.




DIAGNOSTICS

BUGS/DEFICIENCIES

Watch out for the 'g' response when using the -a flag and a
list of files from standard input--it'll cause all subsequent
files in the list to be removed.
