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

pub async fn hard_link<P: AsRef<Path>, Q: AsRef<Path>>(
    from: P, 
    to: Q
) -> Result<()>

Creates a hard link on the filesystem.

The dst path will be a link pointing to the src path. Note that operating systems often require these two paths to 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:

src does not point to an existing file.
Some other I/O error occurred.

Examples

use async_std::fs;

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