Notes

The default implementation of Unlink() is always called if the file created is temporary.

Your implementation must correctly report any system errors that might occur during removal.

Example

To use Unlink() to delete an old log file:

FileSys *f = FileSys::Create( FST_TEXT );
Error e;

f->Set( "/usr/logs/oldlog" );
f->Unlink( &e );

To reimplement Unlink() to report errors with Error::Sys() and provide debugging output:

void FileSysDemo::Unlink( Error *e )
{
    if ( unlink( Name() ) < 0 )
        e->Sys( "unlink", Name() );

    if ( DEBUG )
        printf( "Debug (Unlink): %s\n", Name() );
}
