link(1M)                                                           link(1M)


   NAME
         link, unlink - link and unlink files and directories

   SYNOPSIS
         /usr/sbin/link file1 file2
         /usr/sbin/unlink file

   DESCRIPTION
         The link command is used to create a file name that points to another
         file.  Linked files and directories can be removed by the unlink
         command; however, it is strongly recommended that the rm and rmdir
         commands be used instead of the unlink command.

         The only difference between ln and link and unlink is that the latter
         do exactly what they are told to do, abandoning all error checking.
         This is because they directly invoke the link and unlink system
         calls.

   SEE ALSO
         rm(1) in the User's Reference Manual.
         link(2), unlink(2) in the Programmer's Reference Manual.

   NOTES
         These commands can be run only by the super-user.
