<h1>How to Create Hard Links in Linux</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To create a hard links in Linux, we will use ln utility. For example, if you want
|
|
|
|
|
to create a hard link named "hard_link1" to the file "file1" you can use first
|
|
|
|
|
the <code> ls <code> <code> -l <code> command in order to see all files. Then you
|
|
|
|
|
write <code> ln <code> "file1" "hard_link1" and after that if you write down again
|
|
|
|
|
<code> ls <code> <code> -l <code> you can finally see the hard link named "hard_link1"
|
|
|
|
|
created. Looking at that output, using <code> ls <code> command, the new file is not indicated
|
|
|
|
|
as a link, it is shown as a regular file. This implies that "hard_link1" is just another
|
|
|
|
|
regular executable file that points to the same underlying inode as "file1".
|
|
|
|
|
If you desire to make a hard link directly into a soft link, use the <code> -P <code> flag
|
|
|
|
|
like this: <code> ln <code> <code> -P <code> "file1" "hard_link1"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
