## NAME
       sln - create symbolic links

## SYNOPSIS
       **sln _**source_ _dest_
       **sln _**filelist_

## DESCRIPTION
       The  **sln  **program creates symbolic links.  Unlike the [**ln**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ln/1/markdown) 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.
