.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX "\fLrfrm\fR"
.B rfrm
provides an interface to the
.B shift
remote file I/O daemon (rfiod) for removing entries for one or more files
from a directory.
.LP
If
.IR filename
is a symbolic link, the link will be removed, but the file or directory
to which it refers will not be deleted.
.LP
The
.IR filename
or
.IR directory
argument is either a remote path name of the form:
.IP
.IB hostname : path
.LP
or a local path name (not containing the :/ character combination).
.SH "OPTIONS"
The following options apply to
.B rfrm:
.TP
.BI \-f
Never prompts.
.TP
.BI \-r
Recursively remove directories and subdirectories in the argument list. The
directory will be emptied of files and removed.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR rm(1),
.BR rfiod(l)
.SH "NOTES"
Although
.B rfrm
supports a list of file names or directories it does not support regular
expressions
.BR (regexp(5)).
For instance,
.IP
.BR "rfrm host:/a/b/c\e\(**"
.LP
will not work.
