[PATTERNS]
PATTERN is a shell pattern (not a regular expression). The pattern
-.BR ?
+.B ?\&
matches any one character, whereas
-.BR *
+.B *
matches any string (composed of zero, one or multiple characters). For
example,
-.BR *.o
+.B *.o
will match any files whose names end in
.BR .o .
Therefore, the command
.IP
-.B du --exclude=\(aq*.o\(aq
+.B du \-\-exclude=\(aq*.o\(aq
.PP
will skip all files and subdirectories ending in
-.BR .o
+.B .o
(including the file
-.BR .o
+.B .o
itself).
removes each specified file. By default, it does not remove
directories.
.P
-If the \fI\-I\fR or \fI\-\-interactive\=once\fR option is given,
+If the \fI\-I\fR or \fI\-\-interactive=once\fR option is given,
and there are more than three files or the \fI\-r\fR, \fI\-R\fR,
or \fI\-\-recursive\fR are given, then
.B rm
.P
Otherwise, if a file is unwritable, standard input is a terminal, and
the \fI\-f\fR or \fI\-\-force\fR option is not given, or the
-\fI\-i\fR or \fI\-\-interactive\=always\fR option is given,
+\fI\-i\fR or \fI\-\-interactive=always\fR option is given,
.B rm
prompts the user for whether to remove the file. If the response is
not affirmative, the file is skipped.
