Synopsis

link oldfile, newfile
                  

Creates a Unix hard link from a new filename, newfile, to an existing file, oldfile, on the same filesystem. The function returns 1 for success, 0 otherwise (and puts the error code into $!). This function is unlikely to be implemented on non-Unix systems. See also symlink .
