- MAKELINK creates a FROM file, known as a link, that is a pointer to another
- file, the TO file, on the disk. When an application or command falls the FROM
- file, the TO file is used. By default, MAKELINK supports hard links: the FROM
- file and TO file must be on the same volume.
-
- Soft links, which can link across volumes, are not currently implemented.
-
- Normally, MAKELINK does not support directory links. To create a directory
- link, you must use the FORCE option. If MAKELINK detects that you are
- creating a circular link, such as a link to a parent directory, a Link loop
- not allowed message is issued.
