<pre>
#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
int unlink(const char <em>*path</em>);

</div>
<p>The <strong>unlink()</strong> function removes a directory entry that refers
to a file. This <strong>unlink()</strong> deletes the link named by <em>
path</em> and decrements the link count for the file itself.</p>
<p>If the link count becomes zero and no job currently has the file open, the
file itself is deleted. The space occupied by the file is freed for new use,
and the current contents of the file are lost. If one or more jobs have the
file open when the last link is removed, <strong>unlink()</strong> removes the
link, but the file itself is not removed until the last job closes the
file.</p>
<p><strong>unlink()</strong> cannot be used to remove a directory; use <strong>
rmdir()</strong> instead.</p>
<p>If <em>path</em> refers to a symbolic link, <strong>unlink()</strong>
removes the symbolic link but not a file or directory named by the contents of
the symbolic link.</p>
<p>If <strong>unlink()</strong> succeeds, the change and modification times for
the parent directory are updated. If the link count of the file is not zero,
the change time for the file is also updated. If <strong>unlink()</strong>
fails, the link is not removed.</p>
<p>If the file is checked out, <strong>unlink()</strong> fails with the [EBUSY]
error. If the file is marked "read-only", <strong>unlink()</strong> fails with
the [EROOBJ] error.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong><em>path</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A pointer to the null-terminated path name of the file to be
unlinked.
<p>This parameter is assumed to be represented in the CCSID (coded character
set identifier) currently in effect for the job. If the CCSID of the job is
65535, this parameter is assumed to be represented in the default CCSID of the
job.</p>
<p>See <a href="unlinku.htm">QlgUnlink()--Remove Link to File (using
NLS-enabled path name)</a> for a description and an example of supplying the
<em>path</em> in any CCSID.</p>
