# hprm(1)

remove a file or directory on an HFS+ volume

## NAME

hprm — remove a file or directory on an HFS+ volume

## SYNOPSIS

**hprm** \[**-R**\]  \[**-f**\]  *hfs-path*

## Description

**hprm** removes the file or directory specified  by **hfs-path**.  Since write access to HFS+  volumes is still experimental, the program prints a warning  message and prompts the user before writing anything to the file  system.

**hprm** accepts the following options:

- **-R**

  recursively remove the contents of a directory.

- **-f**

  one day, this option will probably disable prompting.  For  the time being, prompting is always enabled.
