Expert
A link is a second name (or not a file) for a file. Links can be employed to allocate more than one name to a file, but can’t be employed to allocate a directory more than one name or link filenames on dissimilar computers.
Symbolic link 'is' a file which only includes the name of any other file.Operation on the symbolic link is directed to the file pointed through it. Both the limitations of links are removed in symbolic links.Commands for linking files are as follows:
Link ‘ln filename1 filename2’Symbolic link ‘ln -s filename1 filename2’
