EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      eio_link(3) example

	      <?php
	      $filename = dirname(__FILE__)."/symlink.dat";
	      touch($filename);
	      $link = dirname(__FILE__)."/symlink.link";
	      $hardlink = dirname(__FILE__)."/hardlink.link";

	      function my_hardlink_cb($data, $result) {
		  global $link, $filename;
		  var_dump(file_exists($data) && !is_link($data));
		  @unlink($data);

		  eio_symlink($filename, $link, EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_symlink_cb", $link);
	      }

	      function my_symlink_cb($data, $result) {
		  global $link, $filename;
		  var_dump(file_exists($data) && is_link($data));

		  if (!eio_readlink($data, EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_readlink_cb", NULL)) {
		      @unlink($link);
		      @unlink($filename);
		  }
	      }

	      function my_readlink_cb($data, $result) {
		  global $filename, $link;
		  var_dump($result);

		  @unlink($link);
		  @unlink($filename);
	      }

	      eio_link($filename, $hardlink, EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_hardlink_cb", $hardlink);
	      eio_event_loop();
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      bool(true)
	      bool(true)
	      string(%d) "%ssymlink.dat"
