Yes! For all "normal" read cases it certainly seems to return link_len.

There's only one way for it to return 0. That happens if server responds
SSH_FXP_STATUS OK to the command, instead of a SSH_FXP_NAME and data. I guess
the _creation_ of a symlink then returns this if successful.

I'll update the man page!
