|
<p>The <strong>link()</strong> function provides an alternative path name for
|
||
|
|
the existing file, so that the file can be accessed by either the existing name
|
||
|
|
or the new name. <strong>link()</strong> creates a link with a path name <em>
|
||
|
|
new</em> to an existing file whose path name is <em>existing</em>. The link can
|
||
|
|
be stored in the same directory as the original file or in a different
|
||
|
|
directory.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The <strong>link()</strong> function creates a hard link, which guarantees
|
||
|
|
the existence of a file even after the original path name has been removed.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If <strong>link()</strong> successfully creates the link, it increments the
|
||
|
|
<em>link count</em> of the file. The link count indicates how many links there
|
||
|
|
are to the file. If <strong>link()</strong> fails for some reason, the link
|
||
|
|
count is not incremented.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If the <em>existing</em> argument names a symbolic link, <strong>
|
||
|
|
link()</strong> creates a link that refers to the file that results from
|
||
|
|
resolving the path name contained in the symbolic link. If <em>new</em> names a
|
||
|
|
symbolic link, <strong>link()</strong> fails and sets <em>errno</em> to
|
||
|
|
[EEXIST].</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A successful link updates the change time of the file, and the change time
|
||
|
|
and modification time of the directory that contains <em>new</em> (parent
|
||
|
|
directory).</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If the file is checked out by another user (a user profile other than the
|
||
|
|
user profile of the current job), <strong>link()</strong> fails with the
|
||
|
|
[EBUSY] error.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Links created by this function are not allowed to cross file systems. For
|
||
|
|
example, you cannot create a link to a file in the QOpenSys directory from the
|
||
|
|
"root" (/) directory.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Links are not allowed to directories. If <em>existing</em> names a
|
||
|
|
directory, <strong>link()</strong> fails and sets <em>errno</em> to
|
||
|
|
[EPERM].</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A job must have access to a file to link to it.</p>

<h3>Parameters</h3>

|
<dl>

<dt><strong><em>existing</em></strong></dt>
|
||
|

<dd>(Input) A pointer to a null-terminated path name naming an existing file to
|
||
|
|
which a new link is to be created.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This parameter is assumed to be represented in the CCSID (coded character
|
||
|
|
set identifier) currently in effect for the job. If the CCSID of the job is
|
||
|
|
65535, this parameter is assumed to be represented in the default CCSID of the
|
||
|
|
job.</p>

<dt><strong><em>new</em></strong></dt>

<p>This parameter is assumed to be represented in the CCSID currently in effect

for the job. If the CCSID of the job is 65535, this parameter is assumed to be

represented in the default CCSID of the job. The new link name is assumed to be

represented in the language and country or region currently in effect for the

job.</p>
