UNLINK(1)

📦 version 1.053, in alpine 3.24

🦋 NAME 🦋

okay so this is the unlink page, aka UNLINK(1), from the User Contributed Perl Documentation set — and its whole job is literally remove a file. That's the vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

unlink [--] file

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

A single file gets removed by calling the unlink function. If the argument is a symbolic link, the link is removed instead of the file it refers to — the link gets the boot, not the target. 🎀 It is not possible to remove a directory with this program, so don't even try to make that happen, bestie. 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • None. — literally no options here, bestie. No flags, no secret menu, nothing. 💀

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

This command exits 0 if the named file was removed successfully. If an error occurs, unlink exits with a value >0 — so nonzero means something went sideways. 😭
