Hi! Just to be clear: The manpage of [file delete] states that
> Trying to delete a non-existent file is not considered an error. see https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TclCmd/file.htm#M12 or, the Wiki states that > If pathname is a non-existent file, nothing is done and it is not an error. see https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/file+delete ... so your expectation is that this behaviour also applies to this EFAULT instance? If so (I agree), you might consider opening a ticket at https://core.tcl.tk/tcl/login?g=/tcl/tktnew&anon This can also be (re-)produced under macOs, FWIW: $ rm -rf d $ mkdir d $ cd d $ rm -rf ../d $ env - pwd pwd: .: No such file or directory $ tclsh8.6 % pwd error getting working directory name: no such file or directory % file delete spong error deleting "spong": bad address in system call argument % exit Stefan
