12 A link is a directory entry referring to a file; the same file
13 (together with its size, all its protection information, etc.) may
14 have several links to it. There is no way to distinguish a link to a
15 file from its original directory entry; any changes in the file are
16 effective independently of the name by which the file is known.
17 Ln creates a link to an existing file name1. If name2 is given, the
19 link has that name; otherwise it is placed in the current directory and
20 its name is the last component of name1.
21 It is forbidden to link to a directory or to link across file systems.
