12: rmdir removes each directory. This will not be allowed if a
13: directory is the current working directory or is not empty. The
14: force option -f allows the superuser to override these restric-
15: tions. rmdir removes the `.' and `..' entries automatically.
16: Note that using the -ff option on a directory that is not empty
17: will damage the file system, and require that it be fixed with
18: fsck.

26: rmdir -f does not remove files from a nonempty directory; it
27: simply orphans them. To remove a nonempty directory and its con-
28: tents, use rm -r instead.
