Link Intrinsic (function)
.........................

     Link(PATH1, PATH2)

Link: `INTEGER(KIND=1)' function.

PATH1: `CHARACTER'; scalar; INTENT(IN).

PATH2: `CHARACTER'; scalar; INTENT(IN).

Intrinsic groups: `badu77'.

Description:

   Makes a (hard) link from file PATH1 to PATH2.  A null character
(`CHAR(0)') marks the end of the names in PATH1 and PATH2--otherwise,
trailing blanks in PATH1 and PATH2 are ignored.  Returns 0 on success
or a non-zero error code.  See `link(2)'.

   Due to the side effects performed by this intrinsic, the function
form is not recommended.
