Can U pipe filenames to rm???

Now, long before xargs I used this little simple utility:      --Harald E


/* rmf.c - Removes files according to contents of file arg or stdin */
#include <stdio.h>
int errno;

main(ac,av) char **av;
{
	char filen[BUFSIZ];
	if (ac > 1 && freopen(av[1], "r", stdin) == NULL) {
			perror(av[1]);
			fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s [ list-file ]\n\
Removes files according to contents of list-file (or standard input)\n\
one file per input line.\n", av[0]);
			exit(1);
	}
	while (gets(filen))
		if (unlink(filen) != 0) perror(filen);
}
