LINK(1M)                                                 LINK(1M)



     NAME
          link, unlink - link and unlink files and directories

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/link file1 file2
          /etc/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(1) and rmdir(1) commands be used
          instead of the unlink command.

          The only difference between ln(1) and link/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(2) and unlink(2) system calls.

     SEE ALSO
          rm(1) in the User's Reference Manual.
          link(2), unlink(2) in the Programmer's Reference Manual.

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