As quoted from <1991Jan2.155305.10523@onion.pdx.com> by jeff@onion.pdx.com (Jeff Beadles): +--------------- | This looks like a System-Vism. Most systems that I've seen do however have | unlink(2). (This is a BSD based system.) +--------------- BSD (Sun?) added it for NFS: the semantics of unlink() are valid only for UNIX-like file systems, while remove() has semantics that are valid over a much wider set of filesystem types. AT&T picked it up later, apparently in SVR3.2. I was substituting unlink() for remove() in BSD sources from the net to make them work under Xenix, System III, and SVR2 and SVR3.1 long before AT&T got into it. ++Brandon -- Me: Brandon S.
