I am searching a way for deleting files within C programs. I tried the
exec command for executing rm (execlp("rm", "rm", "myfile", 0), which
indeed deletes myfile but the problem here is that the exec command
doesn't return on success.
Is there another way to do this and return to the calling process ?
Thank you in advance.
OB
