NAME

6       shtool mkln - GNU shtool enhanced ln(1) replacement
7

SYNOPSIS

9       shtool mkln [-t|--trace] [-f|--force] [-s|--symbolic] src-path [src-
10       path ...]  dst-path
11

DESCRIPTION

13       This is a ln(1) style command. It is enhanced to provide automatic
14       calculation and usage of relative links with the shortest possible
15       path, if possible. Usually if src-path and dst-path are not absolute
16       paths or at least they share a common prefix except the root directory
17       (``"/"''). When more than one src-path is specified, all of them are
18       linked into dst-path.
