RM - remove files Usage: rm [-qv!] file,file,... Filespecs may contain a drive and/or a directory specification and wildcard characters. If a source filespec contains a drive and/or directory, these are passed along to the subsequent source filespecs until reassigned; thus rm \src\*.c,*.obj,\exe\*.* b: is the same as rm \src\*.c,\src\*.obj,\exe\*.* b: and rm b:bob,carol,\tmp\ted,alice \bed is shorthand for rm b:bob,b:carol,b:\tmp\ted,b:\tmp\alice \bed By default, if a filespec contains a wildcard, the program issues a prompt for each file it matches. There are four possible answers: Y or y - yes, remove this file N or n - no, don't; go on to the next one ! - yes, remove it and all subsequent ones without prompt ^C - don't remove, and abort Options: -! (hammer!) Files are removed without prompting. -v (verify) The prompt is issued for every file (including those not arising from a wildcard). -! and -v are mutually exclusive. -q (quiet) Supresses informational messages. Normally, RM shows the files which were removed and the number of bytes reclaimed. Options may be combined as in rm -q! ... Read-only files and directories can not be removed. The rm! command is a shorthand for rm -!. Usage is rm! [-qv] file,file,... Copyright (c) 1987, Bryan Higgins.
