NAME
ln - make a link
SYNOPSIS
ln
name1 [ name2 ]
DESCRIPTION
A link is a directory entry referring
to a file; the same file (together with
its size, all its protection
information, etc.)
may have several links to it.
There is no way to distinguish a link to a file
from its original directory entry;
any changes in the
file are effective
independently of the name by which the file is known.
Ln
creates a link to an existing file
name1.
If
name2
is given, the link has that name;
otherwise it is placed in the current directory
and its name is the last component
of
name1.
It is forbidden to link to a directory
or to link across file systems.
