[][src]Function async_std::fs::hard_link

pub async fn hard_link<P: AsRef<Path>, Q: AsRef<Path>>(
    from: P,
    to: 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.

This function is an async version of std::fs::hard_link.

Errors

An error will be returned in the following situations (not an exhaustive list):

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

Examples

use async_std::fs;

fs::hard_link("a.txt", "b.txt").await?;
