+of that parent, the subdirectory
+must be specified first so the parent directory

+.\" .Tw Ds
+.\" .Tp Fl p
+.\" Each

+.\" argument is treated as a pathname of which all
+.\" components will be removed, if they are empty,
+.\" starting with the last most component.
+.\" (See
+.\" .Xr rm 1
+.\" for fully non-discriminant recursive removal).
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm rmdir
+utility exits with one of the following values:

+referred to an empty directory and was removed
+successfully.
