+This manual page
+documents the GNU version of
+.BR rm .
+.B rm
+removes each specified file.  By default, it does not remove
+directories.
+.P
+If a file is unwritable, the standard input is a tty, and
+the \fI\-f\fR or \fI\-\-force\fR option is not given,
+.B rm
+prompts the user for whether to remove the file.  If the response
+does not begin with `y' or `Y', the file is skipped.
+.LP
+GNU
+.BR rm ,
+like every program that uses the getopt function to parse its
+arguments, lets you use the
+.I \-\-
+option to indicate that all following arguments are non-options.  To
+remove a file called `\-f' in the current directory, you could type
+either
+.RS
+rm \-\- \-f
+.RE
+or
+.RS
+rm ./\-f
+.RE
+The Unix
+.B rm
+program's use of a single `\-' for this purpose predates the
+development of the getopt standard syntax.
