unlink_file

ATTRIBUTES

Attribute	Pos.	Req.	Default	Description
name	Yes	Yes		File name to delete
prefix	Yes		`tmp/`	Prefix that the filename must match (a safety measure)
interpolate			0	interpolate output?
hide			0	Hide the tag return value?

DESCRIPTION

The tag safely deletes a file from the catalog root directory (CATROOT).

The beginning of the filename must match the prefix= option for the deletion to succeed.

The filename can not start with a / nor ../.

BEHAVIOR

This tag does not appear to be affected by, or affect, the rest of Interchange.

EXAMPLES

Example: create and delete file "tmp/testfile"

[tmp]

[write-relative-file tmp/testfile]
  Hello, World!
[/write-relative-file]

[unlink-file tmp/testfile]

[/tmp]

The [tmp] tag is only used to hide output values from the two contained tags.

Example: delete file "logs/tmplog"

[tmp] [unlink-file name="logs/tmplog" prefix="logs/"] [/tmp]
