CRL (CREATE_LINK) -- Create a link.
usage:  CRL  linkname  object_name ...  [-R]    {CL}


FORMAT

  CRL  linkname  object_name ... [-R]


  CRL is used to create links.  Links normally serve two functions: as a
  shorthand way of specifying objects with lengthy (and frequently recurring)
  pathnames and as static pointers to other objects.

  Links cause the Shell to redirect a pathname to another object.  In effect,
  links allow you to take a detour from one part of the naming tree to another.


ARGUMENTS

  linkname
  (required)       Specify the link's name and location.

  object_name
  (required)       Specify the object to which the link points.

  Multiple linkname/pathname pairs are permitted.

OPTIONS

  -R               Replace an existing link.  Use this option to change a
                   link's object_name.

  CRL uses the command line parser, and so also accepts the standard command
  options listed in HELP CL.

EXAMPLE

  $ crl bugs /maintenance/reports       Create a link called "bugs" in the
                                         current working directory.

  Now, when you use "bugs" in a pathname, the command Shell substitutes the
  text "/maintenance/reports".  Therefore, the pathname:

    bugs/sticky_cursor

  refers to the same file as the pathname:

    /maintenance/reports/sticky_cursor
