— The directory owner

— A process with appropriate privileges

[EBUSY] One of the following conditions exists:

• The directory speciﬁed by the path parameter is in use as the mount

point for a ﬁleset.

• The directory speciﬁed by the path parameter is /E or /G (the Guardian

ﬁle system) or a disk volume or process within /G (has an OSS pathname

of the form /G/vol or /G/process).

• The directory speciﬁed by the path parameter is the lost+found directory

in the root directory for a ﬁleset.

[EFAULT] The path parameter is an invalid address.

[EFSBAD] The ﬁleset catalog for one of the ﬁlesets involved in the operation is corrupt.

[EINVAL] The speciﬁed . (dot) or ..(dot-dot) pathname cannot be removed.

[EIO] During a read from or write to a ﬁleset, an I/O error occurred.

[ELOOP] Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the path parameter.

[ENAMETOOLONG]

One of the following is too long:

• The pathname pointed to by the path parameter

• A component of the pathname pointed to by the path parameter

• The intermediate result of pathname resolution when a symbolic link is

part of the path parameter

The pathconf( ) function can be called to obtain the applicable limits.

[ENOENT] One of the following conditions exists:

• The directory speciﬁed by the path parameter does not exist.

• The path parameter speciﬁes an empty string.

• The path parameter speciﬁes a ﬁle on a remote HP NonStop node but

communication with the remote node has been lost.

[ENOROOT] One of the following conditions exists:

• The root ﬁleset of the local node (ﬁleset 0) is not in the STARTED state.

• The current root ﬁleset for the speciﬁed ﬁle is unavailable. The OSS

name server for the ﬁleset might have failed.

• The speciﬁed ﬁle is on a remote HP NonStop node and communication

with the remote name server has been lost.
