NAME
rmdir - remove directory
SYNOPSIS
rmdir dir ...
DESCRIPTION
Rmdir removes (deletes) directories. The directory must be
empty (except for the standard entries `.' and `..', which
rmdir itself removes). Write permission is required in the
directory in which the directory to be removed appears.
BUGS
Needs a -r flag.
Actually, write permission in the directory's parent is not
required.
Mildly unpleasant consequences can follow removal of your
own or someone else's current directory.
