SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/vnode.h>
int
VOP_LINK(struct vnode *dvp, struct vnode *vp, struct componentname *cnp);

exit.
LOCKS
VOP_LINK() expects the directory and file vnodes to be locked on entry and will leave the vnodes locked on return.
RETURN VALUES
Zero is returned if the file was linked successfully, otherwise an error is returned.
ERRORS
[EMLINK] The file has too many links.
[EPERM] The file is immutable.
[EXDEV] A hard link is not possible between different file systems.

Why do shell builtins like echo and pwd have binaries in /bin? When I do which pwd, I get the one in /bin. that means that I am not using the builtin version? What determines which one gets used? Is the which command a definitive way to determine what is being run when I enter pwd? (16 Replies)

Hi all,
I am learning POSIX shell programming, and the book I read, uses the let command for integer arithmetic.
I have downloaded and use the shellcheck program on Linux.
This programs says:
In POSIX sh, 'let' is undefined.

Hi all, (mainly Neo)...
I keep noticing that the SQRT code I wrote recently for a POSIX shell keeps appearing, (the green colour sticks out like a sore thumb).
