rmdir - Remove directories

Synopsis

rmdir directory ...

Description

The rmdir utility removes the directory entry specified by each directory argument, provided it is empty.

Arguments are processed in the order given. In order to remove both a parent directory and a subdirectory of that parent, the subdirectory must be specified first so the parent directory is empty when rmdir tries to remove it.

Exit status

• 0 if each directory entry specified referred to an empty directory and was removed successfully.
• >0 An error occurred.
