It may be worth noting in the docs that the function does an atomic 
write, and that the atomic write scheme will break a hard link (since 
the new file doesn't have the same inode as the old).  Without this 
information, you may have confused developers / users finding it out 
the hard way.

In this sense, at least just s/overwritten/replaced/ would work.
