@ page 700 line 26980 section pax objection {IBM-03190302}

Problem:

Defect code :  3. Clarification required

         The specification for the pax command (the -l option) implies 
that under certain circumstances that a hard link to a symbolic link be 
created.  

There's not actually any mechanism to create a hard link to a symlink is there? 
link() is required to resolve the path arguments, so it can't
be used....


Action:

remove the requirement for a "hard link to the symbolic link".

or

add the mechanism to be used for such a link "as if foo() were called".
