.TH REMOVE 5 .SH NAME remove \- remove a file from a server .SH SYNOPSIS .ta \w'\fLTremove 'u .IR size [4] .B Tremove .IR tag [2] .IR fid [4] .br .IR size [4] .B Rremove .IR tag [2] .SH DESCRIPTION The .B remove request asks the file server both to remove the file represented by .I fid and to .B clunk the .IR fid , even if the remove fails. This request will fail if the client does not have write permission in the parent directory. .PP It is correct to consider .B remove to be a .B clunk with the side effect of removing the file if permissions allow. .PP If a file has been opened as multiple fids, possibly on different connections, and one fid is used to remove the file, whether the other fids continue to provide access to the file is implementation-defined. The Plan 9 file servers (like .IR fs (4)) remove the file immediately: attempts to use the other fids will yield a ``phase error.'' .I U9fs follows the semantics of the underlying Unix file system, so other fids typically remain usable. .SH ENTRY POINTS .B Remove messages are generated by .IR remove .
