Full description ln

Make a link to a file
syntax: ln -s <original> <link>

Linking is to some a hard concept. Mac System 7 users will do best
thinking of a link as an alias. Basically a link creates a file that
points to the other file specified. So if you edit the link unix
edits the file, etc... The -s flag is almost always used. What
happens when it is not used is too complicated to put into this guide.
