The Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler Run-Time Library contains two
routines that delete a file. The remove function is documented on Page
490, and the unlink function is documented on Page 628 of the
"Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler Run-Time Library Reference" manual.
Both routines take the same argument and perform the same operation.

The unlink function exists for Unix/XENIX compatibility. This
information is documented in Sections B.2.1, B.2.3, and B.5.4 of the
same manual.
