[\fI\,FILE\/\fR]... +.SH DESCRIPTION +This manual page +documents the GNU version of +.BR rm . +.B rm +removes each specified file. By default, it does not remove +directories. +.P +If the \fI\-I\fR or \fI\-\-interactive=once\fR option is given, +and there are more than three files or the \fI\-r\fR, \fI\-R\fR, +or \fI\-\-recursive\fR are given, then +.B rm +prompts the user for whether to proceed with the entire operation. If +the response is not affirmative, the entire command is aborted. +.P +Otherwise, if a file is unwritable, standard input is a terminal, and +the \fI\-f\fR or \fI\-\-force\fR option is not given, or the +\fI\-i\fR or \fI\-\-interactive=always\fR option is given, +.B rm +prompts the user for whether to remove the file.

Use the \fB\-\-recursive\fR (\fB\-r\fR or \fB\-R\fR) +option to remove each listed directory, too, along with all of its contents. +.PP +To remove a file whose name starts with a '\-', for example '\-foo', +use one of these commands: +.IP +rm \fB\-\-\fR \fB\-foo\fR +.IP +rm ./\-foo +.PP +Note that if you use rm to remove a file, it might be possible to recover +some of its contents, given sufficient expertise and/or time.
