Good call!
bash$ cygcheck rm
Found: P:\Bin\rm.exe
Found: c:\cygwin\bin\rm.exe
Found: c:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Bin\rm.exe
P:\Bin\rm.exe
C:\WINNT\System32\MSVCRT.dll
C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll
C:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL
Use -h to see help about each section
bash$ rm /?
Microsoft File Removal Utility. Version rmj.0rmm.00rup
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1987-98. All rights reserved.
Usage: RM [/help] [/ikft] [/x [/d]] [/r dir] files
/help invoke Quick Help for this utility
/i inquire of user for each file for permission to remove
/k keep read only files, no prompting to remove them
/r dir recurse into subdirectories
/f force delete of read only files without prompting
/t attempt to take ownership of file if delete fails
/x dont save deleted files in deleted subdirectory
/d delay until next reboot.
Boy, that's retarded...I didn't expect Microsoft to ship their
own 'rm' with their platform SDK. :)
Thanks!
