If valid_link() returns 0, then the link() will fail. If valid_link() returns 1, then the link will succeed if rename() would succeed if called with the same arguments. <p> See also: <A HREF=../../efuns/filesystem/link.html> link </A> <p> <HR> <ADDRESS> <A HREF=http://wagner.princeton.edu/~tim> Tim Hollebeek </A> <p> <A HREF="http://www.imaginary.com/~beek/"> Beek </A>@ZorkMUD, Lima Bean, IdeaExchange, TMI-2, and elsewhere </ADDRESS>
