unlink - remove one link to a file
unlink LIST
unlink
Deletes a list of files. Returns the number of files successfully deleted.
$cnt = unlink 'a', 'b', 'c'; unlink @goners; unlink <*.bak>;
Note: unlink() will not delete directories unless you are superuser and the -U flag is supplied to Perl. Even if these conditions are met, be warned that unlinking a directory can inflict damage on your filesystem. Use rmdir() instead.
If
LIST is omitted, uses $_
.
