Symlink
creates a symbolic link object named by
linkname
containing character string given by
contents.
Typically,
contents
is a pathname, but in practice, it can be any string. If it is, in fact, a
pathname, it need not be on the same file system (the same Shore volume) as
linkname.
The Shore project is sponsored by the Advanced Research Project Agency, ARPA
order number 018 (formerly 8230), monitored by the U.S. Army Research
Laboratory under contract DAAB07-91-C-Q518.
