Thanks for the report. However, this is unlikely to be changed in 'rmdir', because POSIX already standardized 'rm -r' as the way to recursively remove directories. So many people are used to 'rm -r' doing what you are asking for, that adding an extension of 'rmdir -r' as an alternative would only cause confusion, not to mention that the extension would not be available everywhere like 'rm -r' already is. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org From unknown Thu Jun 19 13:53:49 2025 Received: (at fakecontrol) by fakecontrolmessage; To: internal_control@debbugs.gnu.org From: Debbugs Internal Request Subject: Internal Control Message-Id: bug archived.
