General Commands Manual: ln
NAME
ln - make links between files
SYNOPSIS
**ln** ... TARGET LINK_NAME (1st form)
**ln** ... TARGET (2nd form)
**ln** ... TARGET... DIRECTORY (3rd form)
**ln** ... -t DIRECTORY TARGET... (4th form)
DESCRIPTION
In the 1st form, create a link to TARGET with the name LINK_NAME. In
the 2nd form, create a link to TARGET in the current directory. In the
3rd and 4th forms, create links to each TARGET in DIRECTORY. Create
hard links by default, symbolic links with **--symbolic**. By default,
each destination (name of new link) should not already exist. When
creating hard links, each TARGET must exist. Symbolic links can hold
arbitrary text; if later resolved, a relative link is interpreted in
relation to its parent directory.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options
too.
**--backup**
make a backup of each existing destination file
**-b** like **--backup** but does not accept an argument
**-d** , **-F** , **--directory**
allow the superuser to attempt to hard link directories (note:
will probably fail due to system restrictions, even for the
superuser)
**-f** , **--force**
remove existing destination files
**-i** , **--interactive**
prompt whether to remove destinations
**-L** , **--logical**
dereference TARGETs that are symbolic links
**-n** , **--no-dereference**
treat LINK_NAME as a normal file if it is a symbolic link to a
directory
**-P** , **--physical**
make hard links directly to symbolic links
**-r** , **--relative**
create symbolic links relative to link location
**-s** , **--symbolic**
make symbolic links instead of hard links
**-S** , **--suffix** =SUFFIX
override the usual backup suffix
**-t** , **--target-directory** =DIRECTORY
specify the DIRECTORY in which to create the links
**-T** , **--no-target-directory**
treat LINK_NAME as a normal file always
**-v** , **--verbose**
print name of each linked file
**--help** display this help and exit
**--version**
output version information and exit
The backup suffix is '~', unless set with **--suffix** or
SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX. The version control method may be selected via
the **--backup** option or through the VERSION_CONTROL environment
variable. Here are the values:
none, off
never make backups (even if **--backup** is given)
numbered, t
make numbered backups
existing, nil
numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise
simple, never
always make simple backups
Using **-s** ignores **-L** and **-P**. Otherwise, the last option specified
controls behavior when a TARGET is a symbolic link, defaulting to **-P**.
