     @mushi Nothing. I'm pretty sure rmdir is actually just a shortcut for rm -f

     @ceruleanspark @mushi There's a pretty significant difference.
     'rmdir' will only removea single _empty_ folder.
     'rm' will never remove a directory, unless using '-r' (recursive) which will delete the entire tree using the given path regardless of folder emptiness.
