<h3>Name</h3>
rmdir - remove directory

<h3>Synopsis</h3>
/bin/rmdir <em>directory</em>

<h3>Description</h3>

rmdir removes the specified directory. The directory must be empty.
<p>

It is an error to attempt to remove the . or .. names in a directory,
or to apply rmdir to a filesystem object that is not a directory.
<p>

<h3>Requirements</h3>

rmdir uses the following system calls:
<ul>
<li> <A HREF=../syscall/rmdir.html>rmdir</A>
<li> <A HREF=../syscall/write.html>write</A>
<li> <A HREF=../syscall/_exit.html>_exit</A>
</ul>

rmdir should function properly once the file system assignment is
completed.

<h3>Restrictions</h3>

<A HREF=../dev/emu.html>emufs</A> does not support rmdir. (This is
intentional.)

<h3>See Also</h3>

<A HREF=mkdir.html>mkdir</A>, <A HREF=rm.html>rm</A>
