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 repre‐
       sented 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 different con‐
       nections, 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	(like  fs(4))  remove  the  file  immediately:
       attempts	 to  use the other fids will yield a ``phase error.''  U9fs(4)
       follows the semantics of the underlying Unix file system, so other fids
       typically remain usable.

ENTRY POINTS
       Remove messages are generated by remove.
