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.
