     RMDIR(DOS)        UNIX System V         RMDIR(DOS)



     Name
          rmdir - removes a  directory  from  a  multilevel  directory
          structure


     Syntax
               rmdir [drive:]path



     Description
          The rmdir command removes a directory that is empty except
          for  the ``.'' and ``..'' shorthand symbols.  Before you can
          remove a directory entirely, you must delete its  files  and
          subdirectories.


     Example:
          Suppose you want to remove  a  directory  named  \user\pete.
          You  first  issue  a  dir command for the \user\pete path to
          ensure that the directory  is  empty;  then  you  enter  the
          following command:

               rmdir \user\pete


     Notes
          rmdir/rd is an internal command.
