Answer Posted / baskar

softlink-linked to the another file, its permission are
lrwxrwxrwx which is starting with l, its inode no. are
different, user ln -s filename linkname to create soft link

Hardlink-A hardlink is not a separate type of file. So its
inode no. will be same. use ln filename linkname to create
hardlink. Unlike softlink hardlinks cannot span file system.
