NAME¶
rfrm - remove remote files and directories
SYNOPSIS¶
rfrm filename...
rfrm [
-f ] [
-r ]
directory...
DESCRIPTION¶
rfrm provides an interface to the
shift remote file I/O daemon
(rfiod) for removing entries for one or more files from a directory.
If
filename is a symbolic link, the link will be removed, but the file or
directory to which it refers will not be deleted.
The
filename or
directory argument is either a remote path name of
the form:
- hostname:path
or a local path name (not containing the :/ character combination).
OPTIONS¶
The following options apply to
rfrm:
- -f
- Never prompts.
- -r
- Recursively remove directories and subdirectories in the
argument list. The directory will be emptied of files and removed.
SEE ALSO¶
rm(1), rfiod(l)
NOTES¶
Although
rfrm supports a list of file names or directories it does not
support regular expressions
(regexp(5)). For instance,
- rfrm host:/a/b/c\∗
will not work.
