LINK(2)             UNIX Programmer's Manual              LINK(2)

NAME
     link - link to a file

SYNOPSIS
     link(name1, name2)
     char *name1, *name2;

DESCRIPTION
     A link to _n_a_m_e_1 is created; the link has the name _n_a_m_e_2.
     Either name may be an arbitrary path name.

ERRORS
     _L_i_n_k will fail and no link will be created if one or more of
     the following is true:

     [EINVAL]            Either path name contains a non-ASCII
                         byte.

     [ENOTDIR]           A component of either path prefix is not
                         a directory.

     [ENOENT]            A component of either path prefix does
                         not exist.

     [EACCES]            A component of either path prefix denies
                         search permission.

     [ENOENT]            The file named by _n_a_m_e_1 does not exist.

     [EEXIST]            The link named by _n_a_m_e_2 does exist.

     [EPERM]             The file named by _n_a_m_e_1 is a directory
                         and the effective user ID is not the
                         super-user.

     [EXDEV]             The link named by _n_a_m_e_2 and the file
                         named by _n_a_m_e_1 are on different file
                         systems.

     [EACCES]            The requested link requires writing iin
                         a directory with a mode that denies
                         write permission.

     [EROFS]             The requested link requires writing in a
                         directory on a read-only file system.

     [EFAULT]            One of the path names specified is out-
                         side the process's allocated address
                         space.

     [ELOOP]             Too many symbolic links were encountered
                         in translating the path name.
