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.
