Access Recycler from Command Line

Description

rc recycles the files and directories given as arguments to the NeXT trash folder. rt retrieves the files/directories given as arguments from the NeXT trash folder to the current directory. If a file or directory to be retrieved already exists in the current directory, the user is asked to confirm overwriting it.

Options

-f

force overwriting of existing file in trash folder without interactively prompting the user

Usage

As an example, some files and directories might be recycled with:

  rc file1 directory1/ file2 directory2

They could be retrieved with:

  rt file1 directory1/ file2 directory2
