NAME

	remove – remove a file

SYNOPSIS

	size[4] Tremove tag[2] path[s] size[4] Rremove tag[2]

DESCRIPTION

The remove message asks the server to remove the file identified by path. See intro(O) for a description of that field. The user must have write permission in the directory containing the file. An attempt to remove the root directory of the server should always fail. File descriptors used for Put and Get transactions, which point to the removed file, would still be valid after a Remove transaction. The client should terminate those descriptors besides removing the file, but that may be done asynchronously with respect to the remove request.

ENTRY POINTS

	A remove transaction will be generated from Tremove requests from STYX, resulting from remove(2) calls.
