harden

harden is a small script that will turn a symbolic link (symlink) into a "real" copy of the file, i.e. "hardening" it. It defaults to creating another hard link to the symlink destination, but can also copy it. Symlinks that point to a directory cannot have multiple hard links created to them, and will be recursively copied instead.

harden is licensed under the WTFPL.

Enjoy,
