- <h4 align=center>OS/161 Reference Manual</h4>
- <h3>Name</h3>
- link - create hard link to a file
- <h3>Library</h3>
- Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
- <h3>Synopsis</h3>
- #include <unistd.h><br>
- <br>
- int<br>
- link(const char *<em>oldname</em>, const char *<em>newname</em>);
- <h3>Description</h3>
- link creates a new name, <em>newname</em>, for the file referred to by
- <em>oldname</em>. Henceforth, both names are equally valid ways to
- refer to the same file. The file is only deleted when all names are
- removed. This is a "hard link".
- <p>
- The creation of the new name is atomic. The two names must be on the
- same filesystem. Directories may not be hard-linked.
- <p>
- <h3>Return Values</h3>
- On success, link returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and
- <A HREF=errno.html>errno</A> is set according to the error
- encountered.
- <h3>Errors</h3>
- The following error codes should be returned under the conditions
- given. Other error codes may be returned for other errors not
- mentioned here.
- <blockquote><table width=90%>
- <td width=10%> </td><td> </td></tr>
- <tr><td>ENODEV</td> <td>The device prefix of one of the names did
- not exist.</td></tr>
- <tr><td>ENOTDIR</td> <td>A non-final component of one of the names
- was not a directory.</td></tr>
- <tr><td>ENOENT</td> <td>A non-final component of <em>newname</em>
- did not exist.</td></tr>
- <tr><td>ENOENT</td> <td><em>oldname</em> does not exist.</td></tr>
- <tr><td>EEXIST</td> <td><em>newname</em> already exists.</td></tr>
- <tr><td>EISDIR</td> <td><em>oldname</em> is a directory.</td></tr>
- <tr><td>EXDEV</td> <td>The two names are on different
- filesystems.</td></tr>
- <tr><td>EMLINK</td> <td>There are already too many links to
- <em>oldname</em>.</td></tr>
- <tr><td>ENOSPC</td> <td>The filesystem involved is full.</td></tr>
- <tr><td>EIO</td> <td>A hard I/O error occurred.</td></tr>
- <tr><td>EFAULT</td> <td>One of the arguments was an invalid pointer.</td></tr>
