I really need your help. so i am basicly trying to emulate Linux rm* command using assembly language :

when i ran strace on the command this is what i've got:

execve("/bin/rm", ["rm", "test1", "test2"], 0x7ffc85aaee50 /* 56 vars */) = 0

here is the code i previously wrote

global _start

section .text

_start:



mov rax, 87 ;sys_unlink
mov rdi, fname
syscall


exit:
mov rax, 60
mov rdi, 80
syscall

section .data

fname : db "test.txt",0


but as you can see i have to declare file name . and i don't wanna do that. now my assumption is to do something with getdents64 sys_call and list files in some buffer and then unlink them. but i don't actually know how to do that. any help would be appreciated. thank yoy
