unlink and rename functions for Linux exu

All,

I have the following two functions for unlinking and renaming files with the 
exw.exe Windows interpreter.  Can I do a similar thing with the exu Linux 
interpreter?

-------------------------------------------------------------

function unlink_win(sequence filename)

  atom     kernel32
  atom     deletefile
  atom     a
  atom     r

  kernel32 = open_dll("kernel32.dll")

  if kernel32 = 0 then
    return(-1)
  end if

  deletefile = define_c_func(kernel32, "DeleteFileA", {C_POINTER}, C_INT)

  if deletefile = -1 then
    return(-1)
  end if

  a = allocate_string(filename)

  r = c_func(deletefile, {a})

  free(a)

  if r != 1 then
    return(-1)
  end if

  return(0)
  
end function

function rename_win(sequence oldname, sequence newname)

  atom     kernel32
  atom     movefile
  atom     old
  atom     new
  atom     r

  kernel32 = open_dll("kernel32.dll")

  if kernel32 = 0 then
    return(-1)
  end if

  movefile = define_c_func(kernel32, "MoveFileA", {C_POINTER, C_POINTER}, 
C_INT)

  if movefile = -1 then
    return(-1)
  end if

  old = allocate_string(oldname)
  new = allocate_string(newname)

  r = c_func(movefile, {old, new})

  free(old)
  free(new)

  if r != 1 then
    return(-1)
  end if

  return(0)
  
end function
