Has anyone written a remove command which will unlink all links to a
file inode when the command is issued on any one name? Yes I know it's
dangerous, but there are times when I want certain data unconditionally
off my system.
Example:
$ mkdir foo
$ cd foo
$ date >x1
$ ln x1 x2
$ remove x1 # this is the one
$ ls
$
