rmdir

rmdir: remove empty directories.

Synopsis

rmdir dir…

Description

rmdir removes each dir named, which must be empty. A directory that can’t be removed is reported on standard error as rmdir: dir: reason and the rest are still tried.

Exit status

0 if every directory was removed (or none was named), 1 if any could not be.

Notes

There are no options: no -p to remove parent directories too.
