# Function std::fs::hard_link 1.0.0[−][src]

    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.

# 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;

    fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
        fs::hard_link("a.txt", "b.txt")?; // Hard link a.txt to b.txt
        Ok(())
    }Run

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g. `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
