How to create a symlink?

[jersey_emt]

All of the above mentioned create hardlinks. They are slightly different. To create a symlink, use the command symlink, instead of ln.

Hard links are indeed slightly different than symbolic links (symlinks). However, all of the examples mentioned above use the -s option of the ln command, which does in fact create symlinks.

To create a hard link:
ln <destination> <link name>

To create a symbolic link:
ln -s <destination> <link name>
