    TL;DR: rm calls the unlink syscall and the author wasted a lot of time to find this out and even more time to describe this.

      Everyone starts somewhere and learns as they go. You did too.

      This is like those sites where you just need that recipe for the Bloomin’ Onion sauce because you forgot one ingredient and you get the life story of the author:

      “We were riding on horseback around Tuscany when my riding boot got scuffed by the buckle, so we stopped by a local cobbler to repair it while we listned to the church bells of a nearby…”

      3 screens later…

      “There was an Outback Express at the airport and I asked the waiter…”

      “Horseradish” Oh yeah!

    wouldn’t it have been easier to just read the source code? (not that GNU’s code is easy to read, but still)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
