Hi, according to man page of 'rm' command -d option can be used to unlink directory (by su). " -d, --directory unlink directory, even if non-empty (super-user only) " I am using "rm (GNU fileutils) 4.0l". If I specify -d option for a removing a directory, it gives me an error # rm -d <dir> rm: cannot unlink `<dir>': Is a directory I have to specify -R option to remove a directory. Is this behavior correct? what's the of -d option?
