LINK(3F)                COMMAND REFERENCE                LINK(3F)



NAME
     link - make a link to an existing file

SYNOPSIS
     function link (filename1, filename2)
     character*(*) filename1, filename2

     integer function symlnk (filename1, filename2)
     character*(*) filename1, filename2

DESCRIPTION
     Link makes a hard link to an existing filename1; the link
     itself has the name filename2.

     Filename1 must be the pathname of an existing file.
     Filename2 is a pathname to be linked to filename1.
     Filename2 must not already exist.  With hard links, both
     filename1 and filename2 must be in the same file system.
     Unless the caller is the superuser, filename1 must not be a
     directory.  Both all old links and the new link share equal
     access and rights to the underlying object (filename1).

     Symlnk creates a symbolic link to filename1; the link is
     filename2.  Either name may be an arbitrary pathname; the
     files need not be on the same file system.

     The returned value will be 0 if successful; a system error
     code otherwise.

FILES
     /usr/lib/libU77.a
                    f77 UTek system interface library.

RETURN VALUE
     The returned value will be 0 if successful; a system error
     code otherwise.

CAVEATS
     Pathnames can be no longer than MAXPATHLEN as defined in
     /usr/include/max.h .
