Changing hard linked data

Subject: Changing hard linked data
From: "Gerriet M. Denkmann" <email@hidden>

I have several hard links (/tmp/a1 and /tmp/a2 and maybe many others) pointing to some data.

Now I want to edit this data and save it so that my hard links all point to the changed data.

exchangedata() does not help - it refuses to work with hard links.

Is there some Cocoa (or Unix) way to accomplish this?

I could get the inode with ls -i, could get all other links with find / -inum nnn -print and do ln -f new_data old_hard_link -- but I want something easier, more direct, less overhead.

Kind regards,

Gerriet.
