Modified files:
bin/rm rm.1 rm.c
Log:
Add -I, an option that asks for confirmation once if recursively
removing directories or if more than 3 files are listed in the
command line.
This feature is intended to provide a safe net but not being too
annoying like having "rm -i" for every deleting operations, and
is generally good for both newbies and power users, preventing
them from being so easily run into ``rm -rf /'', ``rm -rf *''
and so forth.
Originally implemented by Matthew Dillon for DragonFly, plus
some improvements done by various DragonFly contributors.
