PROGRAM:

NAME


ln - make links between files

SYNOPSIS


ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINK_NAME (1st form)
ln [OPTION]... TARGET (2nd form)
ln [OPTION]... TARGET... DIRECTORY (3rd form)
ln [OPTION]... -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[=CONTROL]
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.
