SymLnk Intrinsic (subroutine)
.............................

     CALL SymLnk(PATH1, PATH2, STATUS)

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

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

STATUS: `INTEGER(KIND=1)'; OPTIONAL; scalar; INTENT(OUT).

Intrinsic groups: `unix'.

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.  If the STATUS argument
is supplied, it contains 0 on success or a non-zero error code upon
return (`ENOSYS' if the system does not provide `symlink(2)').

   Some non-GNU implementations of Fortran provide this intrinsic as
only a function, not as a subroutine, or do not support the (optional)
STATUS argument.
