File: coreutils.info, Node: unlink invocation, Prev: rmdir invocation, Up: Special file types 12.8 'unlink': Remove files via the unlink syscall ================================================== 'unlink' deletes a single specified file name. It is a minimalist interface to the system-provided 'unlink' function. *Note (libc)Deleting Files::. Synopsis: It avoids the bells and whistles of the more commonly-used 'rm' command (*note rm invocation::). unlink FILENAME On some systems 'unlink' can be used to delete the name of a directory. On others, it can be used that way only by a privileged user. In the GNU system 'unlink' can never delete the name of a directory. The 'unlink' command honors the '--help' and '--version' options. To remove a file whose name begins with '-', prefix the name with './', e.g., 'unlink ./--help'. An exit status of zero indicates success, and a nonzero value indicates failure.
