That leaves the "link" part of the interface name sounding terribly misleading.
Surely there's a better name for a make-a-copy-of-this-inode-and-all-its-data-and-maybe-do-some-cool-COW-magic system call. It's too bad that the "dup" family of system call names is already used for something with a completely separate meaning.
