Specifies whether or not hard links are allowed on placeholder files.

Syntax

typedef enum CF_HARDLINK_POLICY {
  CF_HARDLINK_POLICY_NONE = 0x00000000,
  CF_HARDLINK_POLICY_ALLOWED = 0x00000001
} ;

Constants

CF_HARDLINK_POLICY_ALLOWED
Value: 0x00000001
Hard links can be created on a placeholder under the same sync root or no sync root.

Remarks

If hard links are enabled, applications can create as many hard links as the file system supports so long as the links are under the same sync root or no sync root. Hard links and placeholder operations that are not compatible with this policy will fail with the error: HRESULT(ERROR_CLOUD_FILES_INCOMPATIBLE_HARDLINKS).
