rfrm(1) - Linux man page

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.
