shtool-mkln - GNU shtool enhanced ln(1) replacement
Contents
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.
Example
# shell script
shtool mkln -s foo/bar baz/quux
History
The GNUshtoolfixperm command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in
1998 for ePerl.
