Synopsis: rmdir [OPTION]... DIRECTORY... If any DIRECTORY argument does not refer to an existing empty directory, it is an error. The program accepts the following options. Also see *note Common options::. '--ignore-fail-on-non-empty' Ignore each failure to remove a directory that is solely because the directory is non-empty. '-p' '--parents' Remove DIRECTORY, then try to remove each component of DIRECTORY. So, for example, 'rmdir -p a/b/c' is similar to 'rmdir a/b/c a/b a'. As such, it fails if any of those directories turns out not to be empty. Use the '--ignore-fail-on-non-empty' option to make it so such a failure does not evoke a diagnostic and does not cause 'rmdir' to exit unsuccessfully. '-v' '--verbose' Give a diagnostic for each successful removal. DIRECTORY is removed. *Note rm invocation::, for how to remove non-empty directories (recursively). An exit status of zero indicates success, and a nonzero value indicates failure.
