rm_rf 0.2.2

Force-remove file or directory
Documentation

TimePlot Build Status crates.io

rm -rf

Force-removes a file/directory and all descendants.

In contrast to std::fs::remove_dir_all, it will remove empty directories that lack read access on Linux, and will remove "read-only" files and directories on Windows.

Usage

Cargo.toml: add the latest crate version.

Rust:

extern crate rm_rf;

fn main() {
    // Failure may still happen, in situations identical to where `rm -rf` would fail.
    rm_rf::force_remove_all("target", true).expect("Failed to remove file/directory");
}
