- On IRIX systems, this routine is in lliibbffoorrttrraann..ssoo which is linked by
- default when compiling programs with the MIPSpro 7 Fortran 90 compiler
- or when compiling programs with the --ccrraayylliibbss option to the MIPSpro
- F77 compiler.
-
- The PPXXFFLLIINNKK routine uses the lliinnkk function to link an existing file to
- a new file.
-
- When using the CF90 compiler or MIPSpro 7 Fortran 90 compiler on
- UNICOS, UNICOS/mk, or IRIX systems, all arguments must be of default
- kind unless documented otherwise. On UNICOS and UNICOS/mk, default
- kind is KKIINNDD==88 for integer, real, complex, and logical arguments; on
- IRIX, the default kind is KKIINNDD==44.
-
- The following is a list of valid arguments for this routine:
-
- _e_x_i_s_t_f An input character variable or array element containing the
- name of an existing file.
-
- _l_e_n_e_x_i_s_t An input integer variable containing the length of _e_x_i_s_t_f in
- characters. If _l_e_n_e_x_i_s_t is zero, all trailing blanks are
- removed before calling lliinnkk().
-
- _n_e_w_f An input character variable or array element containing the
- name of a new file.
-
- _l_e_n_n_e_w An input integer variable containing the length of _n_e_w_f in
- characters. If _l_e_n_n_e_w is zero, all trailing blanks are
- removed before calling lliinnkk().
-
- _i_e_r_r_o_r An output integer variable that contains zero if the link
- was successful or nonzero if the link was not completed.
-
- In addition to the errors returned by the lliinnkk(2) system call, PPXXFFLLIINNKK
- may return the following errors:
-
- EEIINNVVAALL If _l_e_n_e_x_i_s_t < 0 or _l_e_n_e_x_i_s_t > LLEENN((_e_x_i_s_t_f)) or _l_e_n_n_e_w < 0 or
- _l_e_n_n_e_w > LLEENN((_n_e_w_f)).
-
- EENNOOMMEEMM If PPXXFFLLIINNKK is unable to obtain memory to copy _e_x_i_s_t_f or
- _n_e_w_f.
