newslock(1)
✨ NAME ✨
okay bestie, this is newslock(1) from the General Commands Manual. It's here to create atomic hard links. That's the whole name-and-shame. 💅
🌸 USAGE 🌸
newslock tempname locknameokay so here's the vibe: you call it with tempname and lockname. It will create a hard link from tempname to lockname if lockname did not exist before. That's the atomic lock moment, no cap. 🔥
It returns 0 if suceeds, and 1 otherwise. (Yes, suceeds is exactly how the original spells it — we keep the facts, not the grammar 💀.)
