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.

          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.
