remove(3C) COMPATIBILITY FUNCTIONS remove(3C)
NAME
remove - remove file
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
int remove(const char *path);
DESCRIPTION
remove causes the file or empty directory whose name is the
string pointed to by path to be no longer accessible by that
name. A subsequent attempt to open that file using that
name will fail, unless the file is created anew. For files,
remove is identical to unlink. For directories, remove is
identical to rmdir.
See rmdir(2) and unlink(2) for a detailed list of failure
conditions.
SEE ALSO
rmdir(2), unlink(2).
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, remove returns a value of 0;
otherwise, it returns a value of -1 and sets errno to indi-
cate an error.
