Subject: doc: improve 'rm -f' description
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* doc/coreutils.texi (rm invocation): Mention that the -f option also
silences the message for missing operands, which is useful in scripts
e.g., for "rm -f $file_list" when $file_list is empty.
* src/rm.c (usage):  Likewise.
