35 <blockquote>
36 <p>The <i>rmdir</i> utility shall remove the directory entry specified by each <i>dir</i> operand.</p>
37 <p>For each <i>dir</i> operand, the <i>rmdir</i> utility shall perform actions equivalent to the <a href=
38 "../functions/rmdir.html"><i>rmdir</i>()</a> function called with the <i>dir</i> operand as its only argument.</p>
39 <p>Directories shall be processed in the order specified. If a directory and a subdirectory of that directory are specified in a
40 single invocation of the <i>rmdir</i> utility, the application shall specify the subdirectory before the parent directory so that
41 the parent directory is empty when the <i>rmdir</i> utility tries to remove it.</p>

47 <p>The following option shall be supported:</p>
48 <dl compact>
49 <dd></dd>
50 <dt><b>-p</b></dt>
51 <dd>Remove all directories in a pathname. For each <i>dir</i> operand:
52 <ol>
53 <li>
54 <p>The directory entry it names shall be removed.</p>
55 </li>
56 <li>
57 <p>If the <i>dir</i> operand includes more than one pathname component, effects equivalent to the following command shall
58 occur:</p>

155 </blockquote>
156 <h4 class="mansect"><a name="tag_20_106_18" id="tag_20_106_18"></a>RATIONALE</h4>
157 <blockquote>
158 <p>On historical System V systems, the <b>-p</b> option also caused a message to be written to the standard output. The message
159 indicated whether the whole path was removed or whether part of the path remained for some reason. The STDERR section requires this
160 diagnostic when the entire path specified by a <i>dir</i> operand is not removed, but does not allow the status message reporting
161 success to be written as a diagnostic.</p>
162 <p>The <i>rmdir</i> utility on System V also included a <b>-s</b> option that suppressed the informational message output by the
163 <b>-p</b> option. This option has been omitted because the informational message is not specified by this volume of
164 POSIX.1-2024.</p>
