    NAME

    unlink - delete a name and possibly the file it refers to
     
    

    SYNOPSIS

    #include <unistd.h>

    int unlink(const char *pathname);  

    DESCRIPTION

    unlink() deletes a name from the file system. 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

    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 permission. (See also path_resolution(7).)
    EBUSY (not on Linux)
    The file pathname cannot be unlinked because it is being used by the system or another process and the implementation considers this an error.
    EFAULT
    pathname points outside your accessible address space.
    EIO
    An I/O error occurred.
    EISDIR
    pathname refers to a directory. (This is the non-POSIX value returned by Linux since 2.1.132.)
    ELOOP
    Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating pathname.
    ENAMETOOLONG
    pathname was too long.
    ENOENT
    A component in pathname does not exist or is a dangling symbolic link, or pathname is empty.
    ENOMEM
    Insufficient kernel memory was available.
    ENOTDIR
    A component used as a directory in pathname is not, in fact, a directory.
    EPERM
    The system does not allow unlinking of directories, or unlinking of directories requires privileges that the calling process doesn't have. (This is the POSIX prescribed error return; as noted above, Linux returns EISDIR for this case.)
    EPERM (Linux only)
    The file system does not allow unlinking of files.
    EPERM or EACCES
    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, and the process is not privileged (Linux: does not have the CAP_FOWNER capability).
    EROFS
    pathname refers to a file on a read-only file system.
     

    CONFORMING TO

    SVr4, 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.  

    BUGS

    Infelicities in the protocol underlying NFS can cause the unexpected disappearance of files which are still being used.
