6 | .SH NAME |
| 7 | sln \- create symbolic links | |
| 8 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| c7db92b9 | 9 | .nf |
| ec14b270 MK |
10 | .BI sln " source dest" |
| 11 | .BI sln " filelist" | |

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, | |
| 1ae6b2c7 | 21 | .B sln |
| ec14b270 | 22 | can be used to make symbolic links to dynamic libraries. |
| c6d039a3 | 23 | .P |
| 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 . |
| c6d039a3 | 29 | .P |
| 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 | |
| 1ae6b2c7 | 34 | .B sln |
| ec14b270 MK |
35 | was executed once for each line of the file, |
| 36 | with the two pathnames as the arguments. | |
| c6d039a3 | 37 | .P |
| ec14b270 MK |
38 | The |
| 39 | .B sln | |
| 40 | program supports no command-line options. | |
