A user accidentally created the subdirectory \dir in his home directory. Which of the following commands will remove that directory?
The command `rmdir ~/\dir` will remove the subdirectory '\dir' in the user's home directory. The backslash character in the directory name needs to be escaped with another backslash to ensure that the shell interprets it correctly.
wrong. Correct answer is D . E does not work [student@centos ~]$ rmdir ~/\\dir rmdir: failed to remove ‘/home/student/\\dir’: No such file or directory [student@centos ~]$ rmdir ~/\dir
Can confirm D is correct. Tested on Ubuntu build.
E is correct, you have to actually confirm the "\dir" directory was created. create the directory using, mkdir "\dir". You would find that only option can delete the directory.
You would find that only option E can delete the directory.
Option E is correct.Option D won't work Below command will work. rmdir ~/'\dir' and rmdir ~/\\dir You can do it either way.
E is the correct answer. I tested it and checked the result
Can confirm D is correct. Tested on Ubuntu build.
The command that will remove the subdirectory '\dir' in the user's home directory is 'rmdir ~/\dir'. Option D is the correct answer. The 'rmdir' command is used to remove empty directories. It takes a single directory name as an argument and removes the specified directory if it is empty. In this case, the subdirectory '\dir' is located in the user's home directory. To specify the path to the subdirectory, you can use the '~' symbol, which represents the user's home directory. To remove the subdirectory '\dir', you can use the following command: rmdir ~/\dir This command will remove the subdirectory '\dir' in the user's home directory if it is empty.
The other options do not accurately specify the path to the subdirectory: Option A: The rmdir '~/\dir' command will not correctly interpret the '~' symbol and will try to remove a directory named '~/\dir'. Option B: The 'rmdir "~/\dir"' command will not correctly interpret the '~' symbol and will try to remove a directory named '~/\dir'. Option C: The 'rmdir ~/'dir' command will not interpret the backslash character as an escape character and will try to remove a directory named '~/dir'. Option E: The 'rmdir ~/\\dir' command will interpret the backslash characters as escape characters and will try to remove a directory named '~/dir'. Note: If the subdirectory is not empty, the 'rmdir' command will fail and you will need to use a different command, such as 'rm -r', to remove the directory.
E is the correct answer. Tested and verified.
100% D. E doesn't work on Centos
E is correct. The incor rect comments are doing mkdir \dir which just makes directory named dir If you do mkdir "\dir" then you need to use option E to remove it.
E. rmdir ~/\\dir => is correct. ~ is expanded to the user's home directory. The double backslash \\ is used to escape the backslash character in the directory name \dir, ensuring that the directory name is interpreted correctly by the shell.
I've checked this in Alma and Ubuntu and only rm -d dir/ worked for me, some ideas?
