Creating a hardlinked directory loop on a mac

Question

How can I create a hardlinked directory loop on a mac? I just want to do it for fun haha I discovered the concept on xkcd.

Answer 1

I'm not on a device where I can quote the man page, but as I recall, it warns against trying to hard link directories, only lets root try to create them, and warns that the filesystem might not even support it. If you still really want to try, look at the man page for the appropriate option.

Here's the relevant option:

-d, -F, --directory
       allow the superuser to attempt to hard link  directories  (note:
       will  probably  fail  due  to  system restrictions, even for the
       superuser)
