Well, hard links can't be distinguished from normal files.  They *are* 
just normal files.  A hard link is simply a directory entry pointing to 
a particular inode.  When we talk about 'hard linking' we usually mean 
that we've created a new link to an existing inode, but, post-link, 
there's no way to tell which directory entry was the 'original' and 
which is the 'copy'.
