Hello,
This is just a nit I discovered, but I thought I'd pass it along.
I am within a directory containing directories dir1 and dir2 and *no*
files starting with f.
shell> rm -rf dir1 dir2 f*
rm: No match.
From the man page:
-f, --force
ignore nonexistent files, never prompt
I suspect the "No match" is coming from the command line parsing and not
rm itself. However, the message starts with rm.
