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. file1 is the existing file, file2 is the newly-created 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 ln(1) 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.
