Waldir Pimenta dff2a308ac reword to prevent ambiguity
"original" can be associated with the origin of the link and lead to confusion if not read carefully.

Also, the third example seems to have been copied from the prior example but not fully adapted: "original/file" should have said (if I'm reading this correctly) "original/folder".

ln

Creates links to files and folders.

  • Create a symbolic link to a file (or folder):

ln -s {{path/to/file}} {{path/to/symlink}}

  • Overwrite an existing symbolic to point to a different file:

ln -sf {{path/to/new/file}} {{path/to/file/symlink}}

  • Create a hard link to a file:

ln {{path/to/file}} {{path/to/hardlink}}
