-.Os BSD 4
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm unlink
-.Nd remove directory entry
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Fd #include <unistd.h>
-.Ft int
-.Fn unlink "const char *path"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Fn unlink
-function
-removes the link named by
-.Fa path
-from its directory and decrements the link count of the
-file which was referenced by the link.
-If that decrement reduces the link count of the file
-to zero,
-and no process has the file open, then
-all resources associated with the file are reclaimed.
-If one or more process have the file open when the last link is removed,
-the link is removed, but the removal of the file is delayed until
-all references to it have been closed.
-.Fa path
-may not be a directory.
-.Sh RETURN VALUES
-Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.
-Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and
-.Va errno
-is set to indicate the error.
-.Sh ERRORS
-The
-.Fn unlink
-succeeds unless:
-.Bl -tag -width ENAMETOOLONGAA
-.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
-A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
-.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
-A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters,
-or an entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
-.It Bq Er ENOENT
-The named file does not exist.
-.It Bq Er EACCES
-Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix.
-.It Bq Er EACCES
-Write permission is denied on the directory containing the link
-to be removed.
-.It Bq Er ELOOP
-Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname.
-.It Bq Er EPERM
-The named file is a directory.
-.It Bq Er EPERM
-The directory containing the file is marked sticky,
-and neither the containing directory nor the file to be removed
-are owned by the effective user ID.
-.It Bq Er EBUSY
-The entry to be unlinked is the mount point for a
-mounted file system.
-.It Bq Er EIO
-An I/O error occurred while deleting the directory entry
-or deallocating the inode.
-.It Bq Er EROFS
-The named file resides on a read-only file system.
-.It Bq Er EFAULT

-.Sh HISTORY
-An
-.Fn unlink
-function call appeared in

-system call traditionally allows the super-user to unlink directories which
-can damage the filesystem integrity. This implementation no longer permits
-it.
