Could someone please enlighten me on the following topics:
1. What is the difference between a hard link and a soft link in UNIX? A text book definition of each followed by some examples would be great.
2. What are the similarities and diffs. in the commands mv, cp, and ln? I
understand they are in fact just links to the same system file.
BTW, I have just started to learn about UNIX, and I'm currently reading throughKernighan and Pike's book 'The UNIX Prog. Env.' After I finish with it, what
would be your recommendations on the next book to read?
