NAME

link, unlink − exercise link and unlink system calls

SYNOPSIS

/etc/link file1 file2
/etc/unlink file

DESCRIPTION

Link and unlink perform their respective system calls on their arguments, abandoning all error checking.  These commands may only be executed by the super-user, who (it is hoped) knows what he or she is doing. 

EXAMPLE

link file1 file2

creates a directory entry for "file2" with the same inode number as "file1".  NOTE: link should be used with extreme caution. 

SEE ALSO

rm(1), link(2), unlink(2).
