It is effective and [most] operations on the file continue to work as usual. "Removing" a file, like in `os.Remove` is just removing one reference to it. Only when the reference count drops to zero is the file deleted. This is, AFAIK, how nixes work and it's IMO actually a neat feature. It enables, for example, updating files without disrupting processes that have those files opened. Less advanced operating systems, to achieve the same effect, have to reboot etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
