<h3>Name</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
rm - remove (unlink) files
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Synopsis</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>/bin/rm</tt> <em>file...</em>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Description</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>rm</tt> deletes the files specified on its command line. (If one
|
|
of the filenames specified is one of several hard links to the same
|
|
file, the file is only removed erased when all links to it are
|
|
deleted.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Using <tt>rm</tt> on directories produces an error. Use
|
|
<A HREF=rmdir.html>rmdir</A> to remove directories.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Requirements</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>rm</tt> uses the following system calls:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> <A HREF=../syscall/remove.html>remove</A>
|
|
<li> <A HREF=../syscall/write.html>write</A>
|
|
<li> <A HREF=../syscall/_exit.html>_exit</A>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
As the remove system call is generally not part of the basic system
|
|
calls assignment, <tt>rm</tt> will usually still not function after
|
|
the basic system calls assignment is complete.
|
|
This call is typically part of a later assignment, usually the file
|
|
system assignment.
|
|
Consult your course materials for specific information.

<h3>Restrictions</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<A HREF=../dev/emu.html>emufs</A> does not support <tt>rm</tt>. (This is
|
|
intentional.)
|
|
</p>
