File: coreutils.info, Node: link invocation, Next: ln invocation, Up: Special file types 12.1 'link': Make a hard link via the link syscall ================================================== 'link' creates a single hard link at a time. It is a minimalist interface to the system-provided 'link' function. *Note (libc)Hard Links::. It avoids the bells and whistles of the more commonly-used 'ln' command (*note ln invocation::). Synopsis: link FILENAME LINKNAME FILENAME must specify an existing file, and LINKNAME must specify a nonexistent entry in an existing directory. 'link' simply calls 'link (FILENAME, LINKNAME)' to create the link. On a GNU system, this command acts like 'ln --directory --no-target-directory FILENAME LINKNAME'. However, the '--directory' and '--no-target-directory' options are not specified by POSIX, and the 'link' command is more portable in practice. If FILENAME is a symbolic link, it is unspecified whether LINKNAME will be a hard link to the symbolic link or to the target of the symbolic link. Use 'ln -P' or 'ln -L' to specify which behavior is desired. An exit status of zero indicates success, and a nonzero value indicates failure.
