link(2) and EFAULT

[Dave Hayes <dave@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Under what conditions does link() return EFAULT? The man
page says:

  [EFAULT]  One of the pathnames specified is outside the
            process's allocated address space.

However I would think that if I had a (char *) pointing
outside the address space that I would get a segfault
somewhere before getting this error. How would you even
handle this error, should your code get it?

In short, I'm confused. :)
