mkdir
command in the Unix operating system is used to make a new Directory. Normal usage is as straightforward as follows:
mkdir name_of_directory
Where name_of_directory is the name of the directory one wants to create. When typed as above (ie. normal usage), the new directory would be created within the current directory.
rm (short for remove)
is a Unix command used to delete files from a filesystem. Common options that rm accepts include :
-r, which processes subdirectories recursively
-i, which asks for every deletion to be confirmed
-f, which ignores non-existent files and overrides any confirmation prompts ("force")
"rm -rf" (variously, "rm -rf /", "rm -rf *", and others) is frequently used in jokes and anecdotes about Unix disasters. The "rm -rf /" variant of the command, if run by an administrator, would cause the contents of every mounted disk on the computer to be deleted.
