remove(3C)                       UNIX System V                       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.
