By default ln makes hard links. A hard link to a file is indistinguishable from the
original directory entry; any changes to a file are effective independent of the name
used to reference the file. Hard links may not normally refer to directories and may
not span file systems.
A symbolic link contains the name of the file to which it is linked. Symbolic links
may span file systems and may refer to directories.
Given one or two arguments, ln creates a link to an existing file source_file. If
target_file is given, the link has that name. Target_file may also be a directory in
which to place the link. Otherwise it is placed in the current directory. If only the
directory is specified, the link will be made to the last component of source_file.
Given more than two arguments, ln makes links in target_dir to all the named
source files. The links made will have the same name as the files being linked to.
-f Unlink any already existing file, permitting the link to occur.
-s Create a symbolic link.
