I have doubt in the following scenario
Scenario:
A process or program starts with opening a file in a write mode and entering a infinite loop say example: while(1) whose body has logic to write to the opened file.
Problem: What if i delete the opened or created file soon after the process enters the infinite loop
In Unix, users really cannot delete files, they only can drop references to files. The kernel deletes the file when there are no references (hard links and open file descriptors) left.
