NAME
       ln - make links between files

SYNOPSIS
       ln [OPTION]... TARGET [LINK_NAME]
       ln [OPTION]... TARGET... DIRECTORY
       ln [OPTION]... --target-directory=DIRECTORY TARGET...

DESCRIPTION
       Create  a  link  to  the specified TARGET with optional LINK_NAME.  If LINK_NAME is
       omitted, a link with the same basename as the TARGET  is  created  in  the  current
       directory.  When using the second form with more than one TARGET, the last argument
       must be a directory;  create links in DIRECTORY to each TARGET.  Create hard  links
       by  default, symbolic links with --symbolic.  When creating hard links, each TARGET
       must exist.

       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

       -n, --no-dereference
              treat  destination  that  is a symlink to a directory as if it were a normal
              file

       -i, --interactive
              prompt whether to remove destinations

       -s, --symbolic
              make symbolic links instead of hard links

       -S, --suffix=SUFFIX
              override the usual backup suffix

       --target-directory=DIRECTORY
              specify the DIRECTORY in which to create the links

       -v, --verbose
              print name of each file before linking

       --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 VER-
       SION_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
