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 com-
     mand; however, it is strongly recommended that the rm and rmdir com-
     mands be used instead of the unlink command.

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

LOCALE
     The LCMESSAGES environment variable governs the language in which
     message texts are displayed.

     If LCMESSAGES is undefined or is defined as the null string, it
     defaults to the value of LANG. If LANG is likewise undefined or null,
     the system acts as if it were not internationalized.

     If any of the locale variables has an invalid value, the system acts
     as if none of the variables was set.

     The LCALL environment variable governs the entire locale. LCALL
     takes precedence over all the other environment variables which affect
     internationalization.

NOTES
     These commands can be run only by the superuser.
