remove(3C)                                                       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 indicate an error.
