Recursive behavior in Linux commands involves executing an operation on a directory and all of its subdirectories and files. For example, using the -r or --recursive option with commands like cp, rm, or chmod allows these commands to apply the specified action not just to the target directory but also to all its contents recursively. This is particularly useful for managing large directory trees efficiently. However, it should be used with caution, especially with destructive commands like rm, to avoid unintentional data loss.
