See Ranmadu's quote from "man rm" in the other reply: "remove files and
directories".

I believe the reason for the existence of rmdir in addition to rm is a
safety consideration: if you use rmdir, you can be absolutely sure (even
when running it from a script) that a directory will _only_ be removed
if it contains no files.
