The code:"--different" (code:"-O") parameter restricts removal of files whose owner is not the user of the caller of the program.
The code:"--directory" (code:"-d") parameter is a file type parameter that restricts removal to directory files.
The code:"--empty" (code:"-e") parameter to remove empty directories, see below for details.
+ The code:"--fifo" (code:"-o") parameter is a file type parameter that restricts removal to FIFO files.
The code:"--follow" (code:"-F") parameter alters removal to remove the file pointed to by a symbolic link rather than the link itself (opposite of --stay).
The code:"--force" (code:"-f") parameter to ignore non-existent files and never prompt.
The code:"--group" (code:"-g") parameter accepts two additional parameters that restrict removal to the given group identifier.
The code:"--link" (code:"-l") parameter is a file type parameter that restricts removal to a symbolic link file.
+ The code:"--local" parameter designates that dates are in local time, unless the time zone is specified.
The code:"--mode" (code:"-m") parameter accepts two additional parameters that restrict removal to the given file mode, see below for details.
The code:"--prompt" (code:"-p") parameter accepts one additional parameter that designates operating in interactive mode and prompts the user for input, see below for details.
The code:"--recurse" (code:"-g") parameter remove directories and their contents recursively.
The code:"--regular" (code:"-R") parameter is a file type parameter that restricts removal to regular files (commonly referred to as just bold:"file").
- The code:"--remember" parameter to remember paths of files already deleted so as to not potentially error out on already removed path.
+ The code:"--remember" parameter to remember paths of files already deleted so as to not potentially error out on already removed path and requires either code:"yes" or code:"no" as an additional argument.
The code:"--same" (code:"-s") parameter restricts removal of files whose owner is the user of the caller of the program.
The code:"--simulate" (code:"-S") parameter designates that the program operates in simulation mode, never removing anything and instead printing what would have been mode (unless in quiet mode).
The code:"--socket" (code:"-k") parameter is a file type parameter that restricts removal to socket files.
The code:"--stay" (code:"-Y") parameter designating to operate on any symbolic links directly rather than what they are pointing to (opposite of --follow).
The code:"--tree" (code:"-t") parameter designates that the specified directory tree is also deleted (may require --force and --recurse if directory tree is not empty).
+ The code:"--unknown" parameter is a file type parameter that restricts removal to files of unknown types.
The code:"--updated" (code:"-U") parameter filters by updated date and time and accepts two additional parameters, see below for details.
The code:"--user" (code:"-u") parameter accepts two additional parameters that restrict removal to the given group identifier.
+ The code:"--utc" parameter designates that dates are in UTC, unless the time zone is specified.
The code:"--accessed" (code:"-A"), code:"--changed" (code:"-C"), and code:"--updated" (code:"-U") parameters' two arguments are (in this order)\:
