     Name
          rmdir - Removes directories.

     Syntax
          rmdir dir ...

     Description
          rmdir removes the entries for one or more subdirectories
          from a directory.  A directory must be empty before it can
          be removed.  rmdir enforces a standard and safe procedure
          for removing a directory; the contents of the directory must
          be removed before the directory itself can be deleted with
          rmdir . Note that the ``rm -r dir'' command is a more
          dangerous alternative to rmdir.

          rmdir removes entries for the named directories, which must
          be empty.

     Notes
          rmdir will refuse to remove the root directory of a mounted
          file system.
