If you specify a directory in the filename and it is a search
    list that contains an error, Compaq C for OpenVMS Systems
    interprets it as a file error.

    When delete is used to delete a symbolic link, the link itself is
    deleted, not the file to which it refers.

    The remove and delete functions are functionally equivalent in
    the Compaq C RTL.

    See also remove.

                                   NOTE

       The delete routine is not available to C++ programmers
       because it conflicts with the C++ reserved word delete.
       C++ programmers should use the ANSI/ISO C standard function
       remove instead.
