Info rm:
`-i'
`--interactive'
Prompt whether to remove each file. If the response does not begin
with `y' or `Y', the file is skipped. Ignore any previous
`--force' (`-f') option.
$ alias rm='rm -i'
$ rm /tmp/a
rm: remove `/tmp/a'? yahoo
Blam. The user somehow typed the wrong string (yahoo)to the wrong window,
and blammo, his file is history.
Also on the man page give some leads about where to find more info on this:
Note that if you use rm to remove a file, it is usually
possible to recover the contents of that file. If you
want more assurance that the contents are truly unrecover-
able, consider using shred.
as a panicked user might be reading the rm page to figure out any way
to restore a file, looking for any leads. Perhaps he has deleted his
modem setup file and finds that he can't just connect to the net to
search...
