link(3)               LPC Library Functions               link(3)

NAME
     link() - link a file to another

SYNOPSIS
     void link( string original, string reference );

DESCRIPTION
     Creates a link <reference> to  the  file  <original>.   This
     efun  causes valid_link(original, reference) to be called in
     the master object.  If valid_link() returns  0,  the  link()
     call  fails.   If  valid_link()  returns  1  then the link()
     suceeds iff rename() would succeed if called with  the  same
     arguments.

     Note: This efun creates a hard link, not a symbolic one.

SEE ALSO
     rm(3), rmdir(3), rename(3), mkdir(3), cp(3)
