+NAME
+ rmdir - remove directories
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ rmdir [-p] dir...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ The rmdir utility shall remove the directory entry spec-
+ ified by each dir operand.
+
+ For each dir operand, the rmdir utility shall perform
+ actions equivalent to the rmdir() function called with
+ the dir operand as its only argument.
+
+ Directories shall be processed in the order specified.
+ If a directory and a subdirectory of that directory are
+ specified in a single invocation of the rmdir utility,
+ the application shall specify the subdirectory before
+ the parent directory so that the parent directory will
+ be empty when the rmdir utility tries to remove it.
+
+OPTIONS
+ The rmdir utility shall conform to the Base Definitions
+ volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 12.2, Utility
+ Syntax Guidelines.
+
+ The following option shall be supported:
+
+ -p Remove all directories in a pathname. For each
+ dir operand:
+
+ The directory entry it names shall be removed.
+
+ If the dir operand includes more than one pathname com-
+ ponent, effects equivalent to the following command
+ shall occur:
+
+
+ rmdir -p $(dirname dir)
+
+
+OPERANDS
+ The following operand shall be supported:
+
+ dir A pathname of an empty directory to be removed.
+
+
+STDIN
+ Not used.
+
+INPUT FILES
+ None.
+
+ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+ The following environment variables shall affect the
+ execution of rmdir:
+
+ LANG Provide a default value for the internationaliza-
+ tion variables that are unset or null. (See the
+ Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001,
+ Section 8.2, Internationalization Variables for
+ the precedence of internationalization variables
+ used to determine the values of locale cate-
+ gories.)
+
+ LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the
+ values of all the other internationalization
+ variables.
+
+ LC_CTYPE
+ Determine the locale for the interpretation of
+ sequences of bytes of text data as characters
+ (for example, single-byte as opposed to multi-
+ byte characters in arguments).
+
+ LC_MESSAGES
+ Determine the locale that should be used to
+ affect the format and contents of diagnostic mes-
+ sages written to standard error.
+
+ NLSPATH
+ Determine the location of message catalogs for
+ the processing of LC_MESSAGES .
+
+
+ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
+ Default.
+
+STDOUT
+ Not used.
+
+STDERR
+ The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic
+ messages.
+
+OUTPUT FILES
+ None.
+
+EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
+ None.
+
+EXIT STATUS
+ The following exit values shall be returned:
+
+ 0 Each directory entry specified by a dir operand
+ was removed successfully.
+
+ >0 An error occurred.
+
+
+CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
+ Default.
+
+ The following sections are informative.
+
+APPLICATION USAGE
+ The definition of an empty directory is one that con-
+ tains, at most, directory entries for dot and dot-dot.
+
+EXAMPLES
+ If a directory a in the current directory is empty
+ except it contains a directory b and a/b is empty except
+ it contains a directory c:
+
+
+ rmdir -p a/b/c
+
+ removes all three directories.
+
+RATIONALE
+ On historical System V systems, the -p option also
+ caused a message to be written to the standard output.
+ The message indicated whether the whole path was removed
+ or whether part of the path remained for some reason.
+ The STDERR section requires this diagnostic when the
+ entire path specified by a dir operand is not removed,
+ but does not allow the status message reporting success
+ to be written as a diagnostic.
+
+ The rmdir utility on System V also included a -s option
+ that suppressed the informational message output by the
+ -p option. This option has been omitted because the
+ informational message is not specified by this volume of
+ IEEE Std 1003.1-2001.
+
+FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+ None.
