How can you create a symbolic link to a file or directory?

Answer Posted / hr@tgksolutions.com

Symbolic links (often called symlinks or soft links) can be crafted using the ln command with the -s option. The general form is ln -s target source_link. This creates a symbolic link named source_link that points to the target. Unlike hard links, symbolic links can reference directories or files across different file systems. They are especially useful for creating shortcuts or ensuring multiple paths to a single resource.
