NAME

r.Link() - Creates a hard link

SYNOPSIS

r.Link(newname(s), existingname)

DESCRIPTION

The r.Link() class is called from within a Conary recipe to install a hard link.

Note: The use of hard links is strongly discouraged in most cases. Hardlinks are limited to the same directory and symbolic links should always be chosen in preference to them. You should not use hard links unless the situation deems using them absolutely necessary.

KEYWORDS

The r.Link() class accepts the following keywords, with default values shown in parentheses when applicable:

package : (None) If set, must be a string that specifies the package (package='packagename'), component (package=':componentname'), or package and component (package='packagename:componentname') in which to place the files added while executing this command. Previously-specified PackageSpec or ComponentSpec lines will override the package specification, since all package and component specifications are considered in strict order as provided by the recipe.

EXAMPLES

r.Link('mumble', '%(bindir)s/passwd')

Demonstrates calling r.Link() to create a hard link from the file %(bindir)s/passwd to the file %(bindir)s/mumble.
