Answer / Amit Mukherjee
In Unix-like operating systems, links are special files that act as aliases or shortcuts to other files. Links help in organizing files and directories by creating multiple paths to access a single file. There are two types of links: hard links (also called explicit links) and symbolic links (also called symlinks or soft links). Hard links refer to identical copies of the same file with different names in the same file system, whereas symbolic links are files that contain the path to another file, allowing access to a file using multiple paths.
