DESCRIPTION

       Make links between files.

OPTIONS

       --backup[=<CONTROL>]
              make a backup of each existing destination file

       -b     like --backup but does not accept an argument

       -f, --force
              remove existing destination files

       -i, --interactive
              prompt whether to remove existing destination files

       -n, --no-dereference
              treat LINK_NAME as a normal file if it is a symbolic link to a directory

       -L, --logical
              follow TARGETs that are symbolic links

       -P, --physical
              make hard links directly to symbolic links

       -s, --symbolic
              make symbolic links instead of hard links

       -S, --suffix <SUFFIX>
              override the usual backup suffix

       -t, --target-directory <DIRECTORY>
              specify the DIRECTORY in which to create the links

       -T, --no-target-directory
              treat LINK_NAME as a normal file always

       -r, --relative
              create symbolic links relative to link location

       -v, --verbose
              print name of each linked file

       -h, --help
              Print help

       -V, --version
              Print version

       <files>

EXTRA

       In  the  1st  form,  create  a link to TARGET with the name LINK_NAME.  In the 2nd form, create a link to
       TARGET in the current directory.  In the 3rd and 4th forms, create links to  each  TARGET  in  DIRECTORY.
       Create  hard links by default, symbolic links with --symbolic.  By default, each destination (name of new
       link) should not already exist.  When creating hard links, each TARGET must  exist.  Symbolic  links  can
       hold  arbitrary  text;  if  later  resolved,  a  relative  link  is interpreted in relation to its parent
       directory.

       The backup suffix is '~', unless set with --suffix or SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX.  The version  control  method
       may  be  selected  via the --backup option or through the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable.  Here are
       the values:

         none, off       never make backups (even if --backup is given)
         numbered, t     make numbered backups
         existing, nil   numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise
         simple, never   always make simple backups
