- Synopsis:
- $unlink(<file> [<file> ...])
-
- Technical:
- This function is roughly equivalent to the C library unlink() call. It
- deletes the given files from the filesystem. Standard shell tilde-
- expansion is permitted.
-
- Practical:
- This function is used to delete files. One possible use might be to
- remove old client log files. Any tilde (~) found in the filename is
- converted to the user's home directory.
-
- Returns:
- 0 successful
- >0 number of files that could not be unlinked
-
- Examples:
- $unlink(~/.ircmotd) force client to see client motd on next startup
- $unlink(/etc/passwd) will probably return >0
-
- Restrictions:
- Naturally, filesystem permissions will limit what the user can and cannot
- unlink.
