Description howardjp 1999-08-11 14:00:03 UTC 
After opening my big mouth on freebsd-advocacy about how Unix 98
compliance was a worthy goal, more than one person told me to go
ahead and send in PRs with changes.  Well, here is yet another :)

This contains a shar of unlink(1).  unlink accepts one argument and
runs unlink(2) on it thus removing the object listed.  NetBSD places 
this in /usr/sbin and puts the man page in section 8, but nothing 
in the standard dictates where it should be.  I have the man page
in section 1.  If this is inappropriate, it can be changed without
pain.  This implementation contains no NetBSD code.

How-To-Repeat: 
Irrelevant.

James and I are discussing PR 13070, PR 13071 and PR 13074, which are 
all related.

Implemented as a special case of rm(1).  Since 3.4-RELEASE is  
expected to be the last release on the RELENG_3 branch, this 
will not be merged from CURRENT.
