                     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.
