Slackware 13.1 x86_64 stable is released!
Lots of thanks are due -- see the RELEASE_NOTES and the rest of the
ChangeLog for credits. The ISOs are on their way to replication,
a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.
We are taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com, and offering
a discount if you sign up for a subscription. Consider picking up
a copy to help support the project. Thanks again to the Slackware
community for testing, contributing, and generally holding us to a
high level of quality. :-)
Enjoy!

These links can +be either hard links or soft (symbolic) links. The differences between the two kinds of +links were discussed in <a href="filesystem-structure-links.html">Section 9.3</a>. If you +wanted to make a symbolic link to the directory <tt class="FILENAME">/var/media/mp3</tt> +and place the link in your home directory, you would do this:</p> + +<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%"> +<tr> +<td> +<pre class="SCREEN"> +<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">ln -s /var/media/mp3 ~/mp3</kbd> +</pre> +</td> +</tr> +</table> + +<p>The <var class="OPTION">-s</var> option tells <tt class="COMMAND">ln</tt> to make a +symbolic link. The next option is the target of the link, and the final option is what to +call the link. In this case, it will just make a file called <tt +class="FILENAME">mp3</tt> in your home directory that points to <tt +class="FILENAME">/var/media/mp3</tt>. You can call the link itself whatever you want by +just changing the last option.</p> + +<p>Making a hard link is just as simple. All you have to do is leave off the <var +class="OPTION">-s</var> option. Hard links may not normally refer to directories or span +file systems, however. To create a hard link <tt class="FILENAME">/usr/bin/email</tt> to +<tt class="FILENAME">/usr/bin/mutt</tt>, simply type the following:</p> + +<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%"> +<tr> +<td> +<pre class="SCREEN"> +<samp class="PROMPT">#</samp> <kbd +class="USERINPUT">ln /usr/bin/mutt /usr/bin/email</kbd> +</pre> +</td> +</tr> +</table> +</div> + +<div class="NAVFOOTER"> +<hr align="LEFT" width="100%" /> +<table summary="Footer navigation table" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" +cellspacing="0"> +<tr> +<td width="33%" align="left" valign="top"><a href="file-commands-deletion.html" +accesskey="P">Prev</a></td> +<td width="34%" align="center" valign="top"><a href="index.html" +accesskey="H">Home</a></td> +<td width="33%" align="right" valign="top"><a href="process-control.html" +accesskey="N">Next</a></td> +</tr> + +<tr> +<td width="33%" align="left" valign="top">Deletion: <tt class="COMMAND">rm</tt> and <tt +class="COMMAND">rmdir</tt></td> +<td width="34%" align="center" valign="top"><a href="file-commands.html" +accesskey="U">Up</a></td> +<td width="33%" align="right" valign="top">Process Control</td> +</tr> +</table> +</div> +</body> +</html> + |
