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.
