+NAME
+ rm - remove files or directories
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ rm [OPTION]... FILE...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ This manual page documents the GNU version of rm. rm
+ removes each specified file. By default, it does not
+ remove directories.
+
+ If a file is unwritable, the standard input is a tty,
+ and the -f or --force option is not given, rm prompts
+ the user for whether to remove the file. If the
+ response is not affirmative, the file is skipped.
+
+OPTIONS
+ Remove (unlink) the FILE(s).
+
+ -d, --directory
+ unlink FILE, even if it is a non-empty directory
+ (super-user only; this works only if your system
+
+ supports `unlink' for nonempty directories)
+
+ -f, --force
+ ignore nonexistent files, never prompt
+
+ -i, --interactive
+ prompt before any removal
+
+ --no-preserve-root do not treat `/' specially (the
+ default)
+
+ --preserve-root
+ fail to operate recursively on `/'
+
+ -r, -R, --recursive
+ remove the contents of directories recursively
+
+ -v, --verbose
+ explain what is being done
+
+ --help display this help and exit
+
+ --version
+ output version information and exit
+
+ To remove a file whose name starts with a `-', for exam-
+ ple `-foo', use one of these commands:
+
+ rm -- -foo
+
+ rm ./-foo
+
+ Note that if you use rm to remove a file, it is usually
+ possible to recover the contents of that file. If you
+ want more assurance that the contents are truly unrecov-
+ erable, consider using shred.
