trashcan vs. unix rm

[alligatorTim]

does the trashcan use a different means to delete files than an "rm"? just to be clear i'm talking about the actual emptying of the can under the finder.

Emptying the trash = rm of all files in the .Trash folder.

If for any reason anyone would like my patented bright, shiny PDF of the rm manual pages, just let me know and I'll e-mail it to you. My address is chenly@mn.rr.com. Share and enjoy!

Ahhh, so that's it. I was wondering how you knew all that stuff, testuser.
