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.
