if --remove (-u) is specified. The default is not to remove the files because
it is common to operate on device files like /dev/hda,
and those files usually should not be removed. When operating on
regular files, most people use the --remove option.
Why not use the stat system call to find out what type of file we're dealing
with, and then remove or not remove accordingly ?
