Synopsis: #rm -f when executed on a read-only partition does not suppress the diagnostic message "# rm -f README rm: README: Read-only file system".
State-Changed-From-To: open->closed

State-Changed-When: Tue Jul 20 08:13:31 GMT 2004
State-Changed-Why:
This is a feature. From the man-page:
"-f [...] If the file does not exist, do not display a diagnostic message or modify the
exit status to reflect an error.
...the -f option only masks attempts to remove non-existent files instead of mask-
ing a large variety of errors."
