remove - remove files

Syntax	#include <stdio.h> int remove(const char *path);
Description	remove() causes the file or empty directory named by the pathname 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 it is created anew. remove() is identical to unlink() for files, and identical to rmdir() for directories. BS2000 remove() can also be used for files with record I/O. (End)
Return val.	0 -1	if successful. if an error occurs. errno is set to indicate the error.
Errors Notes	See unlink() and rmdir(). The program environment determines whether remove() is executed for a BS2000 or POSIX file. BS2000 path can be a fully or partially qualified file name. If a partially qualified file name is specified, remove() will delete all corresponding files without first asking for a (Y/N) confirmation. The response "Y" is assumed. remove() performs only a logical deletion of the file(s), i.e. the catalog entry is deleted, and the assigned memory is released. If a file has been opened by any program, it is not deleted. (End)
