It's just a file name.  It has no meaning beyond that.  the example
shows how to create a hard link to a file.

It prevents a multi-line example from being split between pages, see
the Texinfo manual for the details of @group.

Thanks.

Hi, Emacs developers.

In doc/lispref/files.texi: 1671-1674, example says about "foo1".

>>> start here
@group
(add-name-to-file "foo1" "foo3")
     @result{} nil
@end group
<<< end here

 But I could not find meaning of this file in this example's context.

Is this @group-block necessary?

Thanks.
