Suggested new user link command

I am suggesting a new command for linking files. Currently there is no
easy way to link a file with a known inode number to its correct
position in the directory tree.ÂÂ


int ilink(const int inode, const char *newpath)


The current alternative to this command is to find the file path
associated with an inode using the find command and then once found
using a standard link command. Obviously this is very inefficient. I
am certainly willing to give a patch a go, but I would like approval in
principle first.
