REMOVE(9P)                                             REMOVE(9P)

     NAME
          remove - remove a file from a server

     SYNOPSIS
          size[4] Tremove tag[2] fid[4]
          size[4] Rremove tag[2]

     DESCRIPTION
          The remove request asks the file server both to remove the
          file represented by fid and to clunk the fid, even if the
          remove fails.  This request will fail if the client does not
          have write permission in the parent directory.

          It is correct to consider remove to be a clunk with the side
          effect of removing the file if permissions allow.

          If a file has been opened as multiple fids, possibly on dif-
          ferent 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
          remove the file immediately: attempts to use the other fids
          will yield a ``phase error.''  U9fs follows the semantics of
          the underlying Unix file system, so other fids typically
          remain usable.

     ENTRY POINTS
          Fsremove (see 9pclient(3)) generates remove messages.
