LINK(1M)             INTERACTIVE UNIX System             LINK(1M)



          NAME
               link, unlink - link and unlink files and directories

          SYNOPSIS
               /etc/link file1 file2
               /etc/unlink file

          DESCRIPTION
               The link command is used to create a file name that points
               to another file.  Linked files and directories can be
               removed by the unlink command; however, it is strongly
               recommended that the rm(1) and rmdir(1) commands be used
               instead of the unlink command.

               The only difference between ln(1) and link/unlink is that
               the latter do exactly what they are told to do, abandoning
               all error checking.  This is because they directly invoke
               the link(2) and unlink(2) system calls.

          SEE ALSO
               rm(1).

          WARNINGS
               These commands can be run only by the super-user.
