hdf_set_symlink(3)		util/neo_hdf.h		    hdf_set_symlink(3)

NAME
       hdf_set_symlink	- Set part of the tree to link to another

SYNOPSIS
       #include <util/neo_hdf.h>

       NEOERR *hdf_set_symlink (HDF *hdf, const char *src, const char *dest);

ARGUMENTS
       hdf -> the dataset node
       src -> the source node name
       dest -> the destination node name (from the top of the
       dataset, not relative names)

DESCRIPTION
       hdf_set_symlink	creates a link between two sections of an HDF dataset.
       The link is "by name" hence the term "symlink".	This  means  that  the
       destination  node  does	not  need to exist.  Any attempt to access the
       source node will cause the function to walk to the dest node, and  then
       continue	 walking  from there.  Using symlinks can "hide" values in the
       dataset since you won't be able to access any children  of  the	linked
       node  directly,	though	dumps  and  other things which access the data
       structure directly will bypass the symlink.  Use this feature sparingly
       as its likely to surprise you.

RETURN VALUE
       None
