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), link(2), unlink(2).

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