NAME
rmdir - remove directories
DIFFERENCES
Requires the unistd.h header file.
The errno value ENOTEMPTY on SunOS has been changed to EEXIST on Digi‐
tal UNIX.
New error conditions: The S_ISVTX flag is set on the parent directory
of the directory to be removed, and the caller is not the file owner.
[Digital] For NFS file access, if the rmdir() function fails, errno may
also be set to one of the following values: The file position pointer
associated with the filedes parameter was negative. Indicates either
that the system file table is full, or that there are too many files
currently open in the system. Indicates a stale NFS file handle. An
opened file was deleted by the server or another client; a client can‐
not open a file because the server has unmounted or unexported the
remote directory; or the directory that contains an opened file was
either unmounted or unexported by the server.
