Isn't that what unlink_or_warn() do? Call unlink() and happily return if unlink() succeeds or errors with ENOENT (i.e. path didn't exist in the first place), but otherwise reports an error (imagine: EPERM). > So it makes me wonder which would be more appropriate > unlink_or_warn() or remove_or_warn() or remove_path().

It is a wrong helper function to use here. -- 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
