Neither here nor there, but:

Ty Sarna sez:

All of them, although this presents some interesting anomalies. :-)

Seriously, I have always thought that there should be an funlink()
command which would take a file descriptor and unlink the inode
associated therewith.  It would really mess up the structure, though,
and in the case of files with more than one link it would _require_
that fsck be run.
