tests/mv/symlink-onto-hardlink-to-self.sh

   1 #!/bin/sh
   2 # Demonstrate that when moving a symlink onto a hardlink-to-that-symlink, the
   3 # source symlink is removed.  Depending on your kernel (e.g., Linux, Solaris,
   4 # but not NetBSD), prior to coreutils-8.16, the mv would successfully perform
   5 # a no-op.  I.e., surprisingly, mv s1 s2 would succeed, yet fail to remove s1.
