Method: File.unlink

Defined in:

file.c

.delete(file_name, ...) ⇒ Integer .unlink(file_name, ...) ⇒ Integer

Deletes the named files, returning the number of names passed as arguments. Raises an exception on any error. Since the underlying implementation relies on the unlink(2) system call, the type of exception raised depends on its error type (see linux.die.net/man/2/unlink) and has the form of e.g. Errno::ENOENT.

See also Dir::rmdir.

Overloads:

• .delete(file_name, ...) ⇒ Integer

  Returns:

  • (Integer)
• .unlink(file_name, ...) ⇒ Integer

  Returns:

  • (Integer)
