 * Name: symlink
 *
 * Description:
 *   The symlink() function will create a new link (directory entry) for the
 *   existing file, path2.  This implementation is simplified for use with
 *   NuttX in these ways:
 *
 *   - Links may be created only within the NuttX top-level, pseudo file
 *     system.  No file system currently supported by NuttX provides
 *     symbolic links.
 *   - For the same reason, only soft links are implemented.
 *   - File privileges are ignored.
 *   - c_time is not updated.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   path1 - Points to a pathname naming an existing file.
 *   path2 - Points to a pathname naming the new directory entry to be
 *           created.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   On success, zero (OK) is returned.  Otherwise, -1 (ERROR) is returned
 *   the errno variable is set appropriately.
 *
