File and Path Function

int remove(const char *path);

int _wremove(const wchar_t *path);

int _tremove(const TCHAR *path);

Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview

The remove function deletes the file specified by path and returns 0 if successful. In the event of an error, the function returns -1 and sets the global variable errno with the error number.

On Windows platforms, _wremove is the wide-character version of remove; its argument is a wide-character string. There is no ANSI wide-character equivalent.

_tremove is the Windows-only Generic version of the function; with the _MBCS or _UNICODE compiler flags determining its mapping to either remove or _wremove.

I18n Issues

Use the appropriate version of the function as required for internationalization support.

On ANSI UTF-16 platforms, use a conversion function to convert the wide-character string to a multibyte-character string and then call remove.

See Pathnames for a discussion of path and filename considerations in an internationalized application.

Recommended Replacements*

*If you're already using the recommended function, see I18n Issues for other reasons why Globalyzer is detecting the function.
