Imagine the typo sudo rm -rf /
The order of flags don't matter on the rm command, so rm -rf == rm -fr
ok
...that is in fact the joke
Not quite, flags don't care about the order they are in.
That's exactly why that is the joke omg lol 🤦♀️
What do you think this means?
force delete recursive
I just don't understand where a typo comes into play. OP achieves the same result.
