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'.
