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