os.rmdir() Method Syntax in Python

Syntax: os.rmdir(path, *, dir_fd = None)

Parameter:

• path: A path-like object representing a file path. A path-like object is either a string or bytes object representing a path.
• dir_fd (optional) : A file descriptor referring to a directory. The default value of this parameter is None. If the specified path is absolute then dir_fd is ignored.
• Note: The ‘*’ in parameter list indicates that all following parameters (Here in our case ‘dir_fd’) are keyword-only parameters and they can be provided using their name, not as positional parameter.

Return Type: This method does not return any value.

os.rmdir() method in Python is used to remove or delete an empty directory. OSError will be raised if the specified path is not an empty directory.

All functions in the OS module raise OSError in the case of invalid or inaccessible file names and paths, or other arguments that have the correct type, but are not accepted by the operating system.
