| 8 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |

13 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 14 | The | |
| 15 | .B sln | |
| 16 | program creates symbolic links. | |
| 17 | Unlike the | |
| 18 | .BR ln (1) | |
| 19 | program, it is statically linked. | |
| 20 | This means that if for some reason the dynamic linker is not working, | |
| 21 | .BR sln | |
| 22 | can be used to make symbolic links to dynamic libraries. | |
| 2a86152e | 23 | .PP |
| 42a12f98 | 24 | The command line has two forms. |
| ec14b270 MK |
25 | In the first form, it creates |
| 26 | .I dest | |
| 27 | as a new symbolic link to | |
| 4f6860b5 | 28 | .IR source . |
| 2a86152e | 29 | .PP |
| ec14b270 MK |
30 | In the second form, |
| 31 | .I filelist | |
| 32 | is a list of space-separated pathname pairs, | |
| 33 | and the effect is as if | |
| 34 | .BR sln | |
| 35 | was executed once for each line of the file, | |
| 36 | with the two pathnames as the arguments. | |
| 2a86152e | 37 | .PP |

38 | The |
| 39 | .B sln | |
| 40 | program supports no command-line options. | |
