.SH NAME
|
|
sln \- create symbolic links
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.BI sln " source dest"
|
|
.br
|
|
.BI sln " filelist"
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B sln
|
|
program creates symbolic links.
|
|
Unlike the
|
|
.BR ln (1)
|
|
program, it is statically linked.
|
|
This means that if for some reason the dynamic linker is not working,
|
|
.BR sln
|
|
can be used to make symbolic links to dynamic libraries.
|
|
|
|
The command line has two forms.
|
|
In the first form, it creates
|
|
.I dest
|
|
as a new symbolic link to
|
|
.IR source .
|
|
|
|
In the second form,
|
|
.I filelist
|
|
is a list of space-separated pathname pairs,
|
|
and the effect is as if
|
|
.BR sln
|
|
was executed once for each line of the file,
|
|
with the two pathnames as the arguments.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.B sln
|
|
program supports no command-line options.
