Yes I should combine the results from every removal. > Isn't unlink_or_warn() more correct helper to use here? The shell code uses rm -f which is silent and it removes only if present. So it makes me wonder which would be more appropriate unlink_or_warn() or remove_or_warn() or remove_path(). Is remove_path() different from its shell equivalent "rm -f"? >> + return result; >> +} Regards, Pranit Bauva -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
