Synopsis:
|
||||
$rmdir(<directory> [<directory> ...])
|
||||
|
||||
Technical:
|
||||
This function unlinks the specified directories from the filesystem. As
|
||||
with the normal shell mechanism, the directory must be empty before it
|
||||
can be removed. Tilde-expansion is permitted.
|
||||
|
||||
Practical:
|
||||
One practical use for this function might be to remove any temporary
|
||||
directories created by a script installation program. Other than that,
|
||||
there aren't many common uses for this function.
|
||||
|
||||
Returns:
|
||||
0 successfully removed all directories given
|
||||
>0 number of directories that could not be removed
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
$rmdir(~/temp) returns 0 if ~/temp is empty
|
||||
$rmdir(~/temp /etc) probably will return 1, unless you're root
|
||||
|
||||

||||
mkdir(6)
|
||||
|
||||
Bugs:
|
||||
When $rmdir() fails to some extent, it shows how many directories could
|
||||
not be removed, but does not say which ones. This isn't necessarily a
|
||||
bug, but it could be bothersome.
