|
|
|
<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>
|
|
|

<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>
