.SH NAME
|
|
rmdir \- remove (delete) a directory
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <unistd.h>
|
|
.sp 1
|
|
int \fBrmdir\fR (const char *\fIpath\fR);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.BR rmdir
|
|
will remove the directory named by
|
|
.I path
|
|
if the directory is empty, if it is not a mount point, and if the calling
|
|
process has write permission in the parent directory. The directory is
|
|
considered empty when it contains only
|
|
.B .
|
|
and
|
|
.B ..
|
|
entries.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
0 if successful, -1 and sets
|
|
.B errno
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
Since
|
|
.BR rmdir
|
|
is not yet implemented as a system call but as a library call, it is
|
|
possible to delete a directory which is being used by a process, including
|
|
that of
|
|
.BR rmdir .
