28.Sh DESCRIPTION
29The
30.Fn pr_unlink
31function injects the
32.Xr unlink 2
33system call into the target process
34.Fa P
35by means of the agent LWP.
36If the process handle
37.Fa P
38is the value
39.Dv NULL
40then this will be equivalent to calling
41.Xr unlink 2
42on the currently running process.
43.Pp
44The argument
45.Fa path
46has the same meaning as in
47.Xr unlink 2 .
48See

50for the full description and purpose of the
51.Sy unlink
52system call and its arguments.
53.Pp
54The
55.Fn pr_unlink
56function only works on active processes.
57Process handles that correspond to core files, zombie processes, or ELF objects
58do not support system call injection.
59.Sh RETURN VALUES
60Upon successful completion, the
61.Fn pr_unlink
62function's return value is that described in
63.Xr unlink 2 .
64Otherwise,
65.Sy -1
66is returned and
67.Sy errno
68is set to
69.Er ENOSYS
70to indicate that the system call could not be injected.
71.Sh ERRORS
72For the full list of errors see the
73.Sy ERRORS
74section in
75.Xr unlink 2 .
76.Pp
77The
78.Fn pr_unlink
79function will fail if:
80.Bl -tag -width Er
81.It Er ENOSYS
82An error occurred while trying to invoke the agent LWP and inject a
83system call in the process handle
84.Fa P
85or the process handle
86.Fa P
87does not support system call injection.
