From dff2a308ace6f6f6ce4a743ee09c24b303b0cb6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Waldir Pimenta Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2015 19:03:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] reword to prevent ambiguity "original" can be associated with the origin of the link and lead to confusion if not read carefully. Also, the third example seems to have been copied from the prior example but not fully adapted: "original/file" should have said (if I'm reading this correctly) "original/folder". --- pages/common/ln.md | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/pages/common/ln.md b/pages/common/ln.md index 3d7cc2e96..b52a12aff 100644 --- a/pages/common/ln.md +++ b/pages/common/ln.md @@ -2,14 +2,14 @@ > Creates links to files and folders. -- Create a symbolic link to a file or folder: +- Create a symbolic link to a file (or folder): -`ln -s {{path/to/original/file}} {{path/to/link}}` +`ln -s {{path/to/file}} {{path/to/symlink}}` -- Overwrite a symbolic link to a file: +- Overwrite an existing symbolic to point to a different file: -`ln -sf {{path/to/new/original/file}} {{path/to/file/link}}` +`ln -sf {{path/to/new/file}} {{path/to/file/symlink}}` - Create a hard link to a file: -`ln {{path/to/original/file}} {{path/to/link}}` +`ln {{path/to/file}} {{path/to/hardlink}}`
