     23 Overview:
     24     Name:           linktest.pl
     25     Description:    A regression test for links per file.
     26                     Linktest.pl is a simple test that attempts
     27                     to create a given number of hard links and
     28                     symbolic links to a single file.

     39 Installation:
     40     N/A
     41 
     42 Use:
     43     ./linktest.pl <number of symbolic links> <number of hard links>
     44 
     45     ex:  ./linktest.pl 1000 1000 would create 1000 symlinks and 1000
     46          hardlinks
     47 
     48 Warning(s):
     49     If execution is terminated, the hlink and slink subdirectories will
     50     have to be manually removed (along with any links or files in them).
     51 
     52 ToDo:
     53     I'll think of something.
