[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63265] rmdir fails to remove directory containing read-only files

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #20, bug #63265 (project octave):

Just out of curiosity, what does Matlab's delete function do for files that
have read-only attributes set?  If it is also ignores read-only file
attributes, then we could make Octave's scripting language delete and rmdir
functions compatible and leave unlink alone (both the internal C++ wrapper
around the unlink system call and the Octave scripting language function)
since users of unlink might expect its behavior to match the system call.
