其中/home/nemo/source_ln 就是源文件,/home/nemo/test_ln建立连接的目标位置,其作用是当进入/home/nemo/test_ln目录或者操作/home/nemo/test_ln文件,实际上是链接进入/操作了/home/nemo/source_ln
先举个栗子:
ln -s /home/nemo/source_ln /home/nemo/test_ln
linux下的软链接类似于windows下的快捷方式
如上面的栗子,当我们执行命令
cd /home/nemo/test_ln
的时候 实际上是进入了 /home/nemo/source_ln目录。
值得注意的是执行命令的时候,应该是/home/nemo/source_ln目录/文件已经存在,目录/文件 /home/nemo/test_ln是不存在的。如果后者已经存在,那么在建立软连接的时候则会返回异常。
选项 -s :s 貌似是指symbolic,说明需要建立软连接。相对的,如果没有该参数,默认则会建立硬连接。
硬连接相当于把源目录的文件全部都拷贝一份到目标目录。(我猜)
删除软链接:
rm -rf /home/nemo/test_ln #注意不是rm -rf /home/nemo/test_ln/
具体的ln命令文档说明如下:
nemo@echo:~/b$ ln --help
Usage: ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINK_NAME (1st form)
or: ln [OPTION]... TARGET (2nd form)
or: ln [OPTION]... TARGET... DIRECTORY (3rd form)
or: ln [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY TARGET... (4th form)
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.
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.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
--backup[=CONTROL] make a backup of each existing destination file
-b like --backup but does not accept an argument
-d, -F, --directory allow the superuser to attempt to hard link
directories (note: will probably fail due to
system restrictions, even for the superuser)
-f, --force remove existing destination files
-i, --interactive prompt whether to remove destinations
-L, --logical make hard links to symbolic link references
-n, --no-dereference treat destination that is a symlink to a
directory as if it were a normal file
-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
-v, --verbose print name of each linked file
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
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:
Using -s ignores -L and -P. Otherwise, the last option specified controls
behavior when the source is a symbolic link, defaulting to -P.
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
