DESCRIPTION

19       mbkunlink  deletes  a file, searching it in the path specified with the
20       environment variable MBK_WORK_LIB(1).  Its main issue is to enable sim‐
21       ple  file deletion for any program that works with mbk path environment
22       variables.
23       The file to be erased is called name.extension,  if  extension  is  not
24       NULL,  else  it is name. If extension is the empty string, "", then the
25       file name will be name. .
26

RETURN VALUE

28       mbkunlink returns :
29
30       -1                  on failure, ie the file is not in the  MBK_WORK_LIB
31                           path.

33       0                   on success.
