link(1M)        UNIX System V(System Administration Utilities)         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.

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