NAME
       rfrm - remove remote files and directories

SYNOPSIS
       rfrm filename...
       rfrm [ -f ] [ -r ] directory...

DESCRIPTION
       rfrm provides an interface to the shift remote file I/O daemon (rfiod) for removing entries for one or more files from a directory.

       If filename is a symbolic link, the link will be removed, but the file or directory to which it refers will not be deleted.

       The filename or directory argument is either a remote path name of the form:

	      hostname:path

       or a local path name (not containing the :/ character combination).

OPTIONS
       The following options apply to rfrm:

       -f     Never prompts.

       -r     Recursively remove directories and subdirectories in the argument list. The directory will be emptied of files and removed.

SEE ALSO
       rm(1), rfiod(l)

NOTES
       Although rfrm supports a list of file names or directories it does not support regular expressions (regexp(5)).	For instance,

	      rfrm host:/a/b/c*

       will not work.
