RFRM(1)

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 argu
ment 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.
