Function

v_rmdir invokes the v_rmdir callable service to remove an empty directory.

Parameters

vntoken

A variable name that contains the vnode token for the directory from which dirname is to be removed.

dirname

The name of the empty directory to be removed.

Usage notes

1. The directory specified by dirname must be empty.
2. If the directory is successfully removed, the change and modification times for the parent directory are updated.
3. If any process has the directory open when it is removed, the directory itself is not removed until the last process closes the directory. New files cannot be created under a directory that is removed, even if the directory is still open.
