=== Using Symbolic links ===

A symbolic link is a pointer that contains the path name to another file or directory. Use ln -s command to create a symbolic link file. The file name for the symbolic link appears in the directory in which it is created.

Syntax:
* ln -s source_file target_file

Where source_file variable refers to the file, either relative or absolute path, in which you create a symbolic link. The target_file variable refers to the name of symbolic link. If source file does not exist a symbolic link called target_file to a non-existing file is created.

You remove symbolic link files the same way you would any other file using rm command.
