Function std::fs::hard_link

pub fn hard_link<P: AsRef<Path>, Q: AsRef<Path>>(src: P, dst: Q) -> Result<()>

Creates a new hard link on the filesystem.

The dst path will be a link pointing to the src path. Note that systems often require these two paths to both be located on the same filesystem.

Platform-specific behavior

This function currently corresponds to the link function on Unix and the CreateHardLink function on Windows. Note that, this [may change in the future][changes]. [changes]: ../io/index.html#platform-specific-behavior

Errors

This function will return an error in the following situations, but is not limited to just these cases:

• The src path is not a file or doesn't exist.

Examples

use std::fs;

fs::hard_link("a.txt", "b.txt")?; // Hard link a.txt to b.txt
