Aliases and Unix
Actually, you should almost always use symbolic links (the -s option) for creating links. I'm not quite clear on why that isn't the default. A symbolic link is a special kind of file that contains the path to the file you want (you can't view the contents of the file directly, you just have to trust me), and when the original file gets moved or deleted, the symbolic link breaks. A "hard" link (the default kind) creates a pointer to the data contained in the original file, and so when you delete the original, the data is still accessible from the new link. |
