rmdir: Remove specific directories.
$ rmdir ${path-to-directory1 path-to-directory2 ---}
try on your machine

The command rmdir is used in a command-line interface to remove or delete directories (folders) in a file system.

The specific command you provided, rmdir ${path-to-directory1 path-to-directory2 ---}, seems to use variable substitution. The ${path-to-directory1 path-to-directory2 ---} part suggests that it is expecting a list of directory paths separated by spaces. The --- is likely a placeholder indicating that you can add more directory paths after it.

To use the command, you need to replace ${path-to-directory1 path-to-directory2 ---} with the actual directory paths you want to remove. For example, if you want to delete two directories named "folder1" and "folder2", the command would become:

rmdir folder1 folder2

Make sure to replace "folder1" and "folder2" with the actual paths to the directories you want to delete. Note that the command will only work if the specified directories are empty. If a directory contains files or other subdirectories, the command will fail.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
