+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In unistd.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn link "const char *name1" "const char *name2"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn link
+function call
+atomically creates the specified directory entry (hard link)
+.Fa name2
+with the attributes of the underlying object pointed at by
+.Fa name1 .
+If the link is successful: the link count of the underlying object
+is incremented;
+.Fa name1
+and
+.Fa name2
+share equal access and rights
+to the
+underlying object.
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa name1
+is removed, the file
+.Fa name2
+is not deleted and the link count of the
+underlying object is
+decremented.
+.Pp
+.Fa Name1
+must exist for the hard link to
+succeed and
+both
+.Fa name1
+and
+.Fa name2
+must be in the same file system.
+.Fa name1
+may not be a directory.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Rv -std link
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Fn Link
+will fail and no link will be created if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
+A component of either path prefix is not a directory.
+.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
+A component of either pathname exceeded 255 characters,
+or entire length of either path name exceeded 1023 characters.
+.It Bq Er ENOENT
+A component of either path prefix does not exist.
+.It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
+The file system containing the file named by
+.Fa name1
+does not support links.
+.It Bq Er EMLINK
+The link count of the file named by
+.Fa name1
+would exceed 32767.
+.It Bq Er EACCES
+A component of either path prefix denies search permission.
+.It Bq Er EACCES
+The requested link requires writing in a directory with a mode
+that denies write permission.
+.It Bq Er ELOOP
+Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating one of the pathnames.
+.It Bq Er ENOENT
+The file named by
+.Fa name1
+does not exist.
+.It Bq Er EEXIST
+The link named by
+.Fa name2
+does exist.
+.It Bq Er EPERM
+The file named by
+.Fa name1
+is a directory or is flagged immutable or append-only
+(see
+.Xr chflags 2 ) .
+.It Bq Er EXDEV
+The link named by
+.Fa name2
+and the file named by
+.Fa name1
+are on different file systems.
+.It Bq Er ENOSPC
+The directory in which the entry for the new link is being placed
+cannot be extended because there is no space left on the file
+system containing the directory.
+.It Bq Er EDQUOT
+The directory in which the entry for the new link
+is being placed cannot be extended because the
+user's quota of disk blocks on the file system
+containing the directory has been exhausted.
+.It Bq Er EIO
+An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to
+the file system to make the directory entry.
+.It Bq Er EROFS
+The requested link requires writing in a directory on a read-only file
+system.
+.It Bq Er EFAULT
+One of the pathnames specified
+is outside the process's allocated address space.

+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn link
+function call is expected to conform to
+.St -p1003.1-90 .
+.Sh HISTORY
+A
+.Fn link
+function call appeared in
+.At v7 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn link
+system call traditionally allows the super-user to link directories which
+corrupts the filesystem coherency.  This implementation no longer permits
+it.
