OS-X 10.5 now allows you to hard link directories.

However the link count of the directory seems to behave in the conventional unix way. i.e. it is the number of directories contained in that directory + 2 for "." and "..".

Is there a way to find out the link count for directories, or to otherwise discover if a particular directory has hard links?
