    pub fn remove_dir<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Result<()>

Removes an existing, empty directory.

# Platform-specific behavior

This function currently corresponds to the `rmdir` function on Unix and the `RemoveDirectory` function on Windows. Note that, this may change in the future.

# Errors

This function will return an error in the following situations, but is not limited to just these cases:

- The user lacks permissions to remove the directory at the provided `path`.
- The directory isn't empty.

# Examples

    use std::fs;

    fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
        fs::remove_dir("/some/dir")?;
        Ok(())
    }
