NAME
shtool mkln - GNU shtool enhanced ln(1) replacement
SYNOPSIS
shtool mkln
[-t|--trace]
[-f|--force]
[-s|--symbolic]
src-path [src-path ...]
dst-path
DESCRIPTION
This is a ln(1) style command. It is enhanced to provide automatic
calculation and usage of relative links with the shortest possible path,
if possible. Usually if src-path and dst-path are not absolute
paths or at least they share a common prefix except the root directory
(``CW/''). When more than one src-path is specified, all of them are
linked into dst-path.
OPTIONS
The following command line options are available.
"-t,
Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.
"-f,
Force the creation of the link even if it exists. Default is to fail
with error.
"-s,
Create a symbolic link instead of a hard-link.
EXAMPLE
# shell script
shtool mkln -s foo/bar baz/quux
