Linux命令学习总结：rm命令

命令简介：

该命令用来删除Linux系统中的文件或目录。通常情况下rm不会删除目录，你必须通过指定参数-r或-R来删除目录。另外rm通常可以将该文件或目录恢复（注意，rm删除文件其实只是将指向数据块的索引点（information nodes）释放，只要不被覆盖，数据其实还在硬盘上。如果想要保证文件的内容无法复原，可以使用命令shred 。另外一般还是要慎用rm -rf *这样的命令。

RM(1)                            User Commands                           RM(1)

NAME

       rm - remove files or directories

SYNOPSIS

       rm [OPTION]... FILE...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents the GNU version of rm.  rm removes each specified file.  By default, it does not remove directories.

       If  a  file is unwritable, the standard input is a tty, and the -f or --force option is not given, rm prompts the user for whether to remove the file.  If

       the response is not affirmative, the file is skipped.

OPTIONS

       Remove (unlink) the FILE(s).

       -f, --force

              ignore nonexistent files, never prompt

       -i, --interactive

              prompt before any removal

       --no-preserve-root do not treat 鈥?鈥?specially (the default)

       --preserve-root

              fail to operate recursively on 鈥?鈥?

       -r, -R, --recursive

              remove directories and their contents recursively

       -v, --verbose

              explain what is being done

       --help display this help and exit

       --version

              output version information and exit

       By default, rm does not remove directories.  Use the --recursive (-r or -R) option to remove each listed directory, too, along with all of its contents.

       To remove a file whose name starts with a 鈥?鈥? for example 鈥?foo鈥? use one of these commands:

              rm -- -foo

              rm ./-foo

       Note that if you use rm to remove a file, it is usually possible to recover the contents of that file.  If you want more assurance that the  contents  are

       truly unrecoverable, consider using shred.

2：删除指定文件

如下所示，该目录下有20个文件，删除指定文件后，只剩下19个文件了。

[oracle@DB-Server bdump]$ ls -lrt | wc -l

[oracle@DB-Server bdump]$ rm gsp_lgwr_7826.trc

[oracle@DB-Server bdump]$ ls -lrt | wc -l

3：删除文件显示运行时详细信息

[oracle@DB-Server bdump]$ rm -v gsp_lgwr_4617.trc

removed `gsp_lgwr_4617.trc'

4：交互模式下删除文件

如下所示，输入y后就会删除文件，不想删除则数据n

[oracle@DB-Server bdump]$ rm -iv gsp_lgwr_5005.trc

rm: remove regular file `gsp_lgwr_5005.trc'? y

removed `gsp_lgwr_5005.trc'

[oracle@DB-Server bdump]$ rm -iv gsp_lgwr_7826.trc

rm: remove regular file `gsp_lgwr_7826.trc'? n

5: 递归删除某个目录下文件以及子目录

如下所示，kerry目录下有test1.txt、 test2.txt 文件，以及子目录tmp，而子目录下又有文件file1、file2.

[root@DB-Server ~]# tree kerry

kerry

|-- test1.txt

|-- test2.txt

`-- tmp

    |-- file1

    `-- file2

1 directory, 4 files

[root@DB-Server ~]# rm -rf kerry/

6: 删除空目录

[root@DB-Server ~]# mkdir kerry

[root@DB-Server ~]# rm -r kerry/

rm: remove directory `kerry/'? y

7：删除目录bdump下的所有trc文件类型的文件。

[oracle@DB-Server bdump]$ ls

alert_GSP.log       gsp_lgwr_20025.trc  gsp_lgwr_5023.trc  gsp_p000_4637.trc  gsp_p000_4718.trc  gsp_p000_5025.trc  gsp_p001_4639.trc  gsp_p001_4720.trc  gsp_p001_5027.trc

[oracle@DB-Server bdump]$ rm -v *.trc

removed `gsp_lgwr_19915.trc'

removed `gsp_lgwr_20025.trc'
