# NAME

unlink - remove one link to a file

# SYNOPSIS

unlink LIST

unlink

# DESCRIPTION

Deletes a list of files. Returns the number of files successfully deleted.

        $cnt = unlink 'a', 'b', 'c';
        unlink @goners;
        unlink <*.bak>;

Note: `unlink` will not attempt to delete directories unless you are superuser and the -U flag is supplied to Perl. Even if these conditions are met, be warned that unlinking a directory can inflict damage on your filesystem. Finally, using `unlink` on directories is not supported on many operating systems. Use `rmdir` instead.

If LIST is omitted, uses `$_`.
