|
|
The

|
|
In order to remove both a parent directory and a subdirectory

|
is empty when

The following option is available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent

|
|
Each
|
|
.Ar directory
|
|
argument is treated as a pathname of which all
|
|
components will be removed, if they are empty,
|
|
starting with the last most component.
|
|
(See
|
|
.Xr rm 1
|
