It seems to me unlink and rm -f are the same if the goal is the delete files. When are they different? Thanks.
Others have already answered, so I just want to mention the following difference from a user's point of view: Besides options to work with directories and directory hierarchies, (-r, -d, -x), rm(1) supports more options which may be quite useful: - the -i/-I/--interactive=WHEN family for prompting, - the -v option to explain what is being done.
