tolissth / rrm

Rust ReMove. A Rust clone of the rm coreutil.

RRM

rrm or else Rust ReMove is a clone of the famous GNU coreutil rm written in the Rust programming language.

How to use

Use it just like you would use rm. The only difference is that rrm does need the flag -r to remove directories, it automatically removes them. For more information use rrm -h.

Motivation for this project

I am currently in the process of learning the Rust programming language and I thought that it would be a good idea to introduce the element of antagonism in this process, that's why I contacted a software engineer friend of mine and started a small "program jam" to clone the rm utility in Rust. This project was developed in 3 hours + 3 hours of studying, expect to see updates on this project as I develop my knowledge in Rust.

Requirements

Since all the dependencies that I used in this version are part of the Rust standard library, currently there are NO requirements. Ofcourse that is subject to change.

Disclaimer

Please do not use this a replacement for rm, this a very unstable program and it might cause damage if used without caution.
