As quoted from <5183@auspex.auspex.com> by guy@auspex.auspex.com (Guy Harris):

| It sounds as if you're thinking of "rmdir()", which BSD added, but not

+---------------

Then where the heck did it come from?  I *know* I was hacking remove() into
unlink() in otherwise extremely BSD-ish sources in '86....
