link(1M)          MISC. REFERENCE MANUAL PAGES           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.
