    softlinks are just shortcuts, alternative name of file/folder/device. you can not unlink it. if you delete it, only alternative name will be deleted and nothing will happen to original file/folder/device.
    you can create symlink using 'ln' command.
    Code:
    ln -s <source_file> <soft_link_name>
    check the manual of 'ln' command. man ln.
