<p>The <strong>rmdir()</strong> function removes a directory, <em>path</em>,
provided that the directory is empty; that is, the directory contains no
entries other than "dot" (<strong>.</strong>) or "dot-dot"
(<strong>..</strong>). <em>path</em> must not end in dot (<strong>.</strong>)
or dot-dot (<strong>..</strong>).</p>
<p>If no job currently has the directory open, <strong>rmdir()</strong> deletes
the directory itself. The space occupied by the directory is freed for new use.
If one or more jobs have the directory open, <strong>rmdir()</strong> removes
the link and the dot (<strong>.</strong>) or dot-dot (<strong>..</strong>).
entries. The directory itself is not removed until the last job closes the
directory. New files cannot be created under a directory after the last link is
removed, even if the directory is still open.</p>
<p><strong>rmdir()</strong> does not remove a directory that still contains
files or subdirectories. If <em>path</em> refers to a directory that is not
empty, the [ENOTEMPTY] error is returned. If <em>path</em> refers to the
current directory of the current job, to the "root" (/) directory, or to a
directory that cannot be removed, the [EBUSY] error is returned.</p>
<p>If <em>path</em> refers to a symbolic link, <strong>rmdir()</strong> does
not affect any file or directory named by the contents of the symbolic
link.</p>
<p>If <strong>rmdir()</strong> is successful, the change and modification times
for the parent directory are updated.</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 directory to be
removed.
<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="rmdiru.htm">QlgRmdir()--Remove Directory (using NLS-enabled
path name)</a> for a description and an example of supplying the <em>path</em>
in any CCSID.</p>
