As is pointed out above, Mac's Terminal shell is based on FreeBSD. This is not the same as Linux, although close. Happily, the usual "man" command works just fine, so you can always check out the options for your favorite commands such as "rm" before you try them. You can also find the man pages for FreeBSD available on the web to help you.
