SLN(8)                                Linux Programmer's Manual                               SLN(8)



NAME
       sln - create symbolic links

SYNOPSIS
       sln source dest
       sln filelist

DESCRIPTION
       The  sln  program creates symbolic links.  Unlike the ln(1) program, it is statically linked.
       This means that if for some reason the dynamic linker is not working, sln can be used to make
       symbolic links to dynamic libraries.

       The command line has two forms.  In the first form, it creates dest as a new symbolic link to
       source.

       In the second form, filelist is a list of space-separated pathname pairs, and the  effect  is
       as  if  sln  was executed once for each line of the file, with the two pathnames as the argu‐
       ments.

       The sln program supports no command-line options.
