remove - remove file

Showing IRIX 6.5.30 (default release). Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.

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.

   Return Values
     Upon successful completion, remove returns a value of 0; otherwise, it
     returns a value of -1 and sets errno to indicate an error.
