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 subse-
     quent 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.

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

SEE ALSO
     rmdir(2), unlink(2).
