/* Written by Paul Rubin, David MacKenzie, and Richard Stallman.
   Reworked to use chdir and avoid recursion by Jim Meyering.  */

/* Implementation overview:

   In the `usual' case, RM saves no state for directories it is processing.
   When a removal fails (either due to an error or to an interactive `no'
   reply), the failure is noted (see description of `ht' in remove.c's
   remove_cwd_entries function) so that when/if the containing directory
   is reopened, RM doesn't try to remove the entry again.

   RM may delete arbitrarily deep hierarchies -- even ones in which file
   names (from root to leaf) are longer than the system-imposed maximum.
   It does this by using chdir to change to each directory in turn before
   removing the entries in that directory.

   RM detects directory cycles lazily.  See lib/cycle-check.c.

   RM is careful to avoid forming full file names whenever possible.
   A full file name is formed only when it is about to be used -- e.g.
   in a diagnostic or in an interactive-mode prompt.

   RM minimizes the number of lstat system calls it makes.  On systems
   that have valid d_type data in directory entries, RM makes only one
   lstat call per command line argument -- regardless of the depth of
   the hierarchy.  */
