+.SH NAME
+rmdir \- remove empty directories
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.BI "rmdir [" options "] " directory...
+.sp
+POSIX options:
+.B "[\-p] [\-\-]"
+.sp
+GNU options (shortest form):
+.B [\-p]
+.B [\-\-ignore\-fail\-on\-non\-empty]
+.B "[\-\-help] [\-\-version] [\-\-]"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B rmdir
+removes empty directories.
+.PP
+If any
+.I directory
+argument does not refer to an existing empty directory, it is an error.
+.SH "POSIX OPTIONS"
+.TP
+.B "\-p"
+If
+.I directory
+includes more than one pathname component, remove it, then strip
+the last component and remove the resulting directory, etc., until
+all components have been removed. Thus, `rmdir \-p a/b/c' is
+equivalent to `rmdir a/b/c; rmdir a/b; rmdir a'.
+.TP
+.B "\-\-"
+Terminate option list.
+.SH "GNU OPTIONS"
+.TP
+.B "\-\-ignore\-fail\-on\-non\-empty"
+Normally
+.B rmdir
+will refuse to remove a directory that is not empty.  This option
+causes
+.B rmdir
+to ignore the failure to remove a directory, if that failure is due
+to the directory being non-empty.
+(New in file\%utils-4.0.)
+.TP
+.B "\-p, \-\-parents"
+As above.
+.SH "GNU STANDARD OPTIONS"
+.TP
+.B "\-\-help"
+Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.
+.TP
+.B "\-\-version"
+Print version information on standard output, then exit successfully.
+.TP
+.B "\-\-"
+Terminate option list.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+The variables LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE and LC_MESSAGES have the
+usual meaning.
+.SH "CONFORMING TO"
+POSIX 1003.2
+.SH "EXAMPLE OF USE"
+The command `\fIrmdir foo\fP' will remove the directory \fIfoo\fP
+if it is empty. To remove a nonempty directory, together with everything
+below, use `\fIrm -r foo\fP'.
+.SH NOTES
+This page describes
+.B rmdir
+as found in the fileutils-4.0 package;
+other versions may differ slightly.
