By default this is 1, so empty files will not be linked. The \fIsize\fP argument may be followed by the multiplicative suffixes KiB (=1024), MiB (=1024*1024), and so on for GiB, TiB, PiB, EiB, ZiB and YiB (the "iB" is optional, e.g., "K" has the same meaning as "KiB"). +.RE +.SH "ARGUMENTS" +.sp +\fBhardlink\fP takes one or more directories which will be searched for files to be linked. +.SH "BUGS" +.sp +The original \fBhardlink\fP implementation uses the option \fB\-f\fP to force hardlinks creation between filesystem. This very rarely usable feature is no more supported by the current hardlink. +.sp +\fBhardlink\fP assumes that the trees it operates on do not change during operation. If a tree does change, the result is undefined and potentially dangerous. For example, if a regular file is replaced by a device, hardlink may start reading from the device. If a component of a path is replaced by a symbolic link or file permissions change, security may be compromised. Do not run hardlink on a changing tree or on a tree controlled by another user. +.SH "AUTHOR" +.sp +There are multiple \fBhardlink\fP implementations. The very first implementation is from Jakub Jelinek for Fedora distribution, this implementation has been used in util\-linux between versions v2.34 to v2.36. The current implementations is based on Debian version from Julian Andres Klode. +.SH "REPORTING BUGS" +.sp +For bug reports, use the issue tracker at \c +.URL "https://github.com/karelzak/util\-linux/issues" "" "." +.SH "AVAILABILITY" +.sp +The \fBhardlink\fP command is part of the util\-linux package which can be downloaded from \c +.URL "https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util\-linux/" "Linux Kernel Archive" "."
