       int rfio_readlink (const char *path, char *buf, int length)

DESCRIPTION

       rfio_readlink gets the content of the symbolic link identified by path.

       buf content is not null terminated.
       Symbolic link content can be truncated to length if buf is too small.

RETURN VALUE

       This routine returns the count of bytes placed in buf if the  operation
       was  successful  or  -1  if  the operation failed.  In the latter case,
