12 path
13    is the pathname of a segment, multisegment file, directory, or link

22 The user must have modify permission on the directory that contains the
23 entry receiving the additional name.
24 
25 Two entries in a directory cannot have the same entryname.  Therefore,
26 special action is taken by this command if the added name already
27 exists in the directory that contains the path argument.  If the added
28 name is an alternate name of another entry, the name is removed from
29 this entry, added to the entry specified by path, and the user is
30 informed of this action.  If the added name is the only name of another
31 entry, the user is asked if he wishes to delete this entry.  If he
32 answers "yes", the entry is deleted and the name is added to the entry
33 specified by path; if he answers "no", no action is taken.
