Liunx and win in the soft links detailed

Linux friends know that there is a concept of soft links in Linux, you can create a soft link to a directory or a file through the ln command, the advantage of soft links is that a directory or file can have multiple portals but maintain a single physical location, easy to apply and manage.

1. Command format:

ln [parameter] [source file or directory] [destination file or directory]

2. Command format:

necessary Parameters :-b Delete, overwrite previously established link -d allow super user to make directory hard link -f enforce -i interactive mode, file presence Prompt user whether overwrite - N treats symbolic links as generic directories -s Soft links (symbolic links)-V displays detailed processing procedures

3. Usage Examples:

# ln-sf file1 file2 where File1 is the name of the software link , File2 is the path to the actual file and can be accessed by file1 in the future file2

A similar soft link can be created with the Mklink command in the Win7 operating system.

D:\temp>mklink/? creates a symbolic link. MKLINK [[/d] | [H] | [/J]] Link Target         /D      Creates a directory symbolic link. The default is a file                symbolic link.         /H      creates a hard link instead of a symbolic link.         /J      Create a directory join.        link    Specifies the new symbolic link name.        Target  Specifies the path                (relative or absolute) referenced by the new link. 

Example:

mklink/j FileNew Fileold
