This links a new name in the specified directory to an existing file. Its arguments are: dvp The vnode of the directory. vp The vnode of the file to be linked. cnp Pathname information about the file.

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. SEE ALSO
