UNLINK(1)

💅 NAME

unlink — bestie, this calls the unlink function to yeet the file you point at 🗑️✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS

unlink FILE
unlink OPTION

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION

Okay so, plot twist: it literally calls the unlink function to remove the specified FILE. That's it. That's the whole vibe. No thoughts, just deletion 💀

And then there's the classic duo, the two options that every coreutils girlie knows and loves:

• --help — display this help and exit 🫶 (the "wait what does this do again" button)
• --version — output version information and exit ⭐ (the "who even are you" button)
