-# _emx_link.py
-
-# Written by Andrew I MacIntyre, December 2002.
-
-"""_emx_link.py is a simplistic emulation of the Unix link(2) library routine
-for creating so-called hard links. It is intended to be imported into
-the os module in place of the unimplemented (on OS/2) Posix link()
-function (os.link()).
-
-We do this on OS/2 by implementing a file copy, with link(2) semantics:-
- - the target cannot already exist;
- - we hope that the actual file open (if successful) is actually
- atomic...
-
-Limitations of this approach/implementation include:-
- - no support for correct link counts (EMX stat(target).st_nlink
- is always 1);
- - thread safety undefined;
- - default file permissions (r+w) used, can't be over-ridden;
- - implemented in Python so comparatively slow, especially for large
- source files;
- - need sufficient free disk space to store the copy.
-
-Behaviour:-
- - any exception should propagate to the caller;
- - want target to be an exact copy of the source, so use binary mode;
- - returns None, same as os.link() which is implemented in posixmodule.c;
- - target removed in the event of a failure where possible;
- - given the motivation to write this emulation came from trying to
- support a Unix resource lock implementation, where minimal overhead
- during creation of the target is desirable and the files are small,
- we read a source block before attempting to create the target so that
- we're ready to immediately write some data into it.
