shtool-mkln1
Gnu shtool enhanced ln(1) replacement
Usage
shtool mkln
[{-t | --trace}]
[{-f | --force}]
[{-s | --symbolic}]
src-path
[src-path ...]
dst-path
Overview
This is a ln(1) style command. It is enhanced to provide automatic calculation and usage of relative links with the shortest possible path, if possible. Usually if src-path and dst-path are not absolute paths or at least they share a common prefix except the root directory (``"/"''). When more than one src-path is specified, all of them are linked into dst-path.
Options
The following command line options are available.
-
-t, --trace -
Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.
-
-f, --force -
Force the creation of the link even if it exists. Default is to fail with error.
-
-s, --symbolic -
Create a symbolic link instead of a hard-link.
Examples
# shell scriptshtool mkln -s foo/bar baz/quux
