RD is a DOS command alias for RMDIR. Under FreeBSD the equivalent command is rmdir. The difference is that the unix command cannot remove directories containing files, but the DOS command can (with the /s switch, RMDIR works like the old DOS command, DELTREE).

To remove a directory and all contents under Windows, and its equivalent in unix, see DELTREE.
