    name
        The name of the package to be deleted.


    Multiple Package Options:

    pkgs

        ``name`` parameter will be ignored if this option is passed.

    Returns a dict containing the changes.

    CLI Example:

    .. code-block:: bash

        salt '*' pkg.remove <package name>
        salt '*' pkg.remove <package1>,<package2>,<package3>
        salt '*' pkg.remove pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'

def remove(name=None, pkgs=None, purge=False, **kwargs):  # pylint: disable=unused-argument
