Format
#include <direct.h> int rmdir(char *pathname);
Language Level: XPG4, Extension
rmdir deletes the directory specified by pathname. The
directory must be empty, and it must not contain any files or
subdirectories.
Note: In earlier releases of the C/C++ run-time library, rmdir began with an underscore (_rmdir). Because it is defined by the X/Open standard, the underscore has been removed. For compatibility, IBM C and C++ Compilers will map _rmdir to rmdir for you.
Return Value
rmdir returns the value 0 if the directory is
successfully deleted. A return value of -1 indicates an error,
and errno is set to one of the following values:
