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
(‘‘"/"’’). 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, --trace
Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are
executed.
-f, --force
Force the creation of the link even if it exists. Default is to
fail with error.
-s, --symbolic
Create a symbolic link instead of a hard-link.
EXAMPLE
# shell script
shtool mkln -s foo/bar baz/quux

Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1998 for ePerl.
