Something along these lines should work on probably any UNIX or
UNIX-like system. Unlinking a file removes the directory entry but the
storage blocks are not released for reuse until all file handles are
closed. This ends up being more of an annoyance than a benefit when
long-running jobs put big files on scratch storage which is
periodically pruned.
