[comp.sys.sun] How to unlink a directory?

rang@cpsin3.cps.msu.edu (Anton Rang) (04/26/89)

I have some directories with multiple hard links.  I'd like to remove one
of the hard links.  Sounds simple, right?  How do I do it?  Calling
unlink() returns EPERM (even as superuser)....  Thanks!

  For example:

	/abc/def/ghi is hard-linked to /abc/xxx/ghi (via ln -f)
        How to remove the /abc/def/ghi link?

a bug in "rename" that can unintentionally place you in this situation.
