okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about link 💖 this one's from the General Commands Manual corner of the universe and it is lowkey iconic for being soooo simple. no chaos. no flag soup. just vibes and hard links. periodt.

✨ NAME ✨

link — bestie, all it does is call the link function to create a link named FILE2 to an existing FILE1. that's it. that's the whole personality. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

link FILE1 FILE2

two files. one command. zero drama. 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the way this works is: link calls the link function to create a link named FILE2 to an existing FILE1. yes that's the same sentence as the NAME section, and no, that's not me being lazy — that's literally what the page says, fr fr. it's giving "short and confident." 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

okay so the options menu is tiny and honestly? refreshing.

  • -h, --help — prints the help. that's the whole thing. ask and you shall receive. 🌈
  • -V, --version — prints the version. little flex, very demure. 👑

🎀 VERSION 🎀

v(uutils coreutils) 0.12.0

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

creating a hard link from a new file to an existing file? say less:

link path/to/existing_file path/to/new_file
