+.SH PROLOG
+This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
+the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
+or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIremove\fP() function shall cause the file named by the pathname

+that name. A subsequent attempt to open that file using that name
+shall fail, unless it is created anew.
+.LP
+If
+\fIpath\fP does not name a directory, \fIremove\fP(\fIpath\fP) shall
+be equivalent to \fIunlink\fP(\fIpath\fP).
+.LP
+If \fIpath\fP names a directory, \fIremove\fP(\fIpath\fP) shall be
+equivalent to \fIrmdir\fP(\fIpath\fP).
