Removes a file.
Standard C Library (libc.a)
#include <stdio.h>
int remove( FileName)
const char *FileName;
The remove subroutine makes a file named by FileName inaccessible by that name. An attempt to open that file using that name does not work unless you recreate it. If the file is open, the subroutine does not remove it.
If the file designated by the FileName parameter has multiple links, the link count of files linked to the removed file is reduced by 1.
| FileName | Specifies the name of the file being removed. |
Upon successful completion, the remove subroutine returns a value of 0; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
The link subroutine, rename (rename Subroutine) subroutine.
The link or unlink (unlink Subroutine) command.
