I need something to get the hard link count from a file in a solaris10 os in java.
parsing ls -l is not an option.
I tried using posix for java http://bmsi.com/java/posix/index.html but couldn’t manage to get it working.
Is there any other lightweight API or code to get this info?
In Java 7 you can use the new file attributes API to get it with
java.nio.file.Files.getAttribute(path, "unix:nlink").The “unix” attribute view is not actually defined as part of the standard API (and the “posix” view does not give you nlink), but is available in the standard Oracle/OpenJDK implementation.
On the other hand creating a link is now available with the standard
createLinkmethod onFiles. Go figure.
