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,

prompts the user for whether to remove the file.  If the response
does not begin with `y' or `Y', the file is skipped.
