[root@mail /tmp]# rm --version
rm (GNU fileutils) 4.0
[root@mail /tmp]# ls -al foo
ls: foo: No such file or directory
[root@mail /tmp]# touch foo
[root@mail /tmp]# ls -al foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 27 14:44 foo
[root@mail /tmp]# rm -i foo
rm: remove `foo'? s
[root@mail /tmp]# ls -al foo
ls: foo: No such file or directory
Should this be construed as a bug, or is it a feature (perhaps 's' for
si) and forgotten in the documentation?
The best I can trace it to is that yesno() uses a regexp, which checks for
Yy or Nn. But I can't figure out where 's' would cause it to remove the
file, whereas 'm' wouldn't.
