  20. .SH DESCRIPTION
  21. The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
  22. ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
  23. ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
  24. .P
  25. The
  26. \fIremove\fR()
  27. function shall cause the file named by the pathname pointed to by
  28. .IR path
  29. to be no longer accessible by that name. A subsequent attempt to open
  30. that file using that name shall fail, unless it is created anew.
  31. .P
  32. If
  33. .IR path
  34. does not name a directory, \fIremove\fP(\fIpath\fP) shall be equivalent
  35. to \fIunlink\fP(\fIpath\fP).
  36. .P
  37. If
  38. .IR path
  39. names a directory, \fIremove\fP(\fIpath\fP) shall be equivalent to
  40. \fIrmdir\fP(\fIpath\fP).
  41. .SH "RETURN VALUE"
