+
NAME
+
       remove - delete a name and possibly the file it refers to
+
+
SYNOPSIS
+
       #include <stdio.h>
+
+       int remove(const char *pathname);
+
+
DESCRIPTION
+
       remove  deletes  a  name from the filesystem. If that name
+       was the last link to a file and no processes have the file
+       open  the  file  is  deleted and the space it was using is
+       made available for reuse.
+
+       If the name was the last link to a file but any  processes
+       still have the file open the file will remain in existence
+       until the last file descriptor referring to it is  closed.
+
+       If  the  name  referred  to  a  symbolic  link the link is
+       removed.
+
+       If the name referred to a socket, fifo or device the  name
+       for it is removed but processes which have the object open
+       may continue to use it.
+
+
RETURN VALUE
+
       On success, zero is returned.  On error, -1  is  returned,
+       and errno is set appropriately.
+
+
ERRORS
+
       EFAULT  pathname  points  outside  your accessible address
+               space.
+
+       EACCES  Write access to the directory containing  pathname
+               is not allowed for the process's effective uid, or
+               one of the directories in pathname did  not  allow
+               search (execute) permission.
+
+       EPERM   The  directory containing pathname has the sticky-
+               bit (S_ISVTX) set and the process's effective  uid
+               is  neither  the uid of the file to be deleted nor
+               that of the directory containing it.
+
+       ENAMETOOLONG
+               pathname was too long.
+
+       ENOENT  A directory component in pathname does  not  exist
+               or is a dangling symbolic link.
+
+       ENOTDIR A  component  used  as  a directory in pathname is
+               not, in fact, a directory.
+
+       EISDIR  pathname refers to a directory.

BUGS
+
       In-felicities in the protocol underlying NFS can cause the
+       unexpected disappearance of files which  are  still  being
+       used.
