Description
rmdir removes empty directories.If any directory argument does not refer to an existing empty directory, it is an error.
Posix Options
- -p
- If 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'.

- Terminate option list.
GNU Options
- --ignore-fail-on-non-empty
- Normally rmdir will refuse to remove a directory that is not empty. This option causes rmdir to ignore the failure to remove a directory, if that failure is due to the directory being non-empty. (New in fileutils-4.0.)
- -p, --parents
- As above.
