SymLnk Intrinsic (function)
...........................

     SymLnk(PATH1, PATH2)

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

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

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

Intrinsic groups: `badu77'.

Description:

   Makes a symbolic 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 (`ENOSYS' if the system does not provide
`symlink(2)').

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