Which is more efficient (ie: cheaper and faster) in a program?
- to chdir("/path") and then unlink("file") for each file in the
directory
-OR-
- to explicity unlink("/path/file") for dozens of files in each
directory?
And does the recommended method used vary based on Sys V or BSD 4.2/3 ??
I will be removing hundreds of files in hundreds of directories
at a shot with this approach.
Please E-Mail to me and I will summarize and re-post.
