DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
A directory entry is created for name . The entry points to file .
|
|
Henceforth, name and file can be used interchangeably. If name is not
|
|
supplied, the last component of file is used as the link name. If more
|
|
than one file is supplied or the name refers to an existing directory,
|
|
links will be created in that directory. An existing name will not be
|
|
removed unless the -i or -f flag is specified.
|
|
|
|
Clone is a convenient synonym for ln -fmr to create a so-called "link
|
|
farm", a directory full of links to the original tree.
