eio_link — Create a hardlink for file

Description

eio_link(
    string $path,
    string $new_path,
    int $pri = EIO_PRI_DEFAULT,
    callable $callback = NULL,
    mixed $data = NULL
): resource

eio_link() creates a hardlink new_path for a file specified by path.

Parameters

path

Source file path.

new_path

Target file path.

pri

The request priority: EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, EIO_PRI_MIN, EIO_PRI_MAX, or null. If null passed, pri internally is set to EIO_PRI_DEFAULT.

callback

callback function is called when the request is done. It should match the following prototype:

void callback(mixed $data, int $result[, resource $req]);
data

is custom data passed to the request.

result

request-specific result value; basically, the value returned by corresponding system call.

req

is optional request resource which can be used with functions like eio_get_last_error().

data

Arbitrary variable passed to callback.

Return Values

Examples

Example #1 eio_link() example

<?php
$filename
= dirname(__FILE__)."/symlink.dat";
touch($filename);
$link = dirname(__FILE__)."/symlink.link";
$hardlink = dirname(__FILE__)."/hardlink.link";

function
my_hardlink_cb($data, $result) {
global
$link, $filename;
var_dump(file_exists($data) && !is_link($data));
@
unlink($data);

eio_symlink($filename, $link, EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_symlink_cb", $link);
}

function
my_symlink_cb($data, $result) {
global
$link, $filename;
var_dump(file_exists($data) && is_link($data));

if (!
eio_readlink($data, EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_readlink_cb", NULL)) {
@
unlink($link);
@
unlink($filename);
}
}

function
my_readlink_cb($data, $result) {
global
$filename, $link;
var_dump($result);

@
unlink($link);
@
unlink($filename);
}

eio_link($filename, $hardlink, EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_hardlink_cb", $hardlink);
eio_event_loop();
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

bool(true)
bool(true)
string(%d) "%ssymlink.dat"
