Synopsis:
    #include <sys\types.h>
    #include <direct.h>
    int rmdir( const char *path );
    int _wrmdir( const wchar_t *path );

Description:
    The rmdir function removes (deletes) the specified directory.  The
    directory must not contain any files or directories.  The path can be
    either relative to the current working directory or it can be an
    absolute path name.

    The _wrmdir function is identical to rmdir except that it accepts a
    wide-character string argument.

Returns:
    The rmdir function returns zero if successful and -1 otherwise.

Errors:
    When an error has occurred,  errno contains a value indicating the type
    of error that has been detected.

Example:
    To remove the directory called \watcom on drive C:

    #include <sys\types.h>
    #include <direct.h>

    void main()
      {
        rmdir( "c:\\watcom" );
      }

    Note the use of two adjacent backslash characters (\) within
    character-string constants to signify a single backslash.
