Subject: Suggested new user link command
Date: Tue, 1 May 2018 20:03:35 +1200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <decdbe00-2292-3012-d7ae-6bfa382fc74a@tony.gen.nz> (raw)
I am suggesting a new command for linking files. Currently there is no
easy way to link a file with a known inode number to its correct
position in the directory tree.
int ilink(const int inode, const char *newpath)
The current alternative to this command is to find the file path
associated with an inode using the find command and then once found
using a standard link command. Obviously this is very inefficient. I
am certainly willing to give a patch a go, but I would like approval in
principle first.
