            Bug ID: 2579
           Summary: Link count support
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 7.2p1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5

Patch

This patch adds client and server support for transmitting the st_nlink
field
across SSH2_FXP_NAME and SSH2_FXP_ATTRS responses.

One downside is that it adds this much new overhead for those
responses:

sizeof(uint32_t) + sizeof(uint32_t) +
strlen("attr-link-count@openssh.com") + sizeof(uint32_t) +
sizeof(uint64_t)

i.e. 47 bytes.

If this overhead is not acceptable, perhaps this extension can only be
enabled if the client sends the "attr-link-count@openssh.com" extension
in the SSH2_FXP_INIT request. If this is the case, should sftp-client
advertise this extension by default or no?
