Symbolic links -can hold arbitrary text; if later resolved, a relative link is -interpreted in relation to its parent directory. -.PP -Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -.TP -\fB\-\-backup\fR[=\fICONTROL\fR] -make a backup of each existing destination file -.TP -\fB\-b\fR -like \fB\-\-backup\fR but does not accept an argument -.TP -\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-F\fR, \fB\-\-directory\fR -allow the superuser to attempt to hard link -directories (note: will probably fail due to -system restrictions, even for the superuser) -.TP -\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-force\fR -remove existing destination files -.TP -\fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-interactive\fR -prompt whether to remove destinations -.TP -\fB\-L\fR, \fB\-\-logical\fR -dereference TARGETs that are symbolic links -.TP -\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-no\-dereference\fR -treat LINK_NAME as a normal file if -it is a symbolic link to a directory -.TP -\fB\-P\fR, \fB\-\-physical\fR -make hard links directly to symbolic links -.TP -\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-relative\fR -create symbolic links relative to link location -.TP -\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-symbolic\fR -make symbolic links instead of hard links -.TP -\fB\-S\fR, \fB\-\-suffix\fR=\fISUFFIX\fR -override the usual backup suffix -.TP -\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-target\-directory\fR=\fIDIRECTORY\fR -specify the DIRECTORY in which to create -the links -.TP -\fB\-T\fR, \fB\-\-no\-target\-directory\fR -treat LINK_NAME as a normal file always -.TP -\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR -print name of each linked file -.TP -\fB\-\-help\fR -display this help and exit -.TP -\fB\-\-version\fR -output version information and exit -.PP -The backup suffix is '~', unless set with \fB\-\-suffix\fR or SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX. -The version control method may be selected via the \fB\-\-backup\fR option or through -the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable.
