link(1M)
link, unlink - link and unlink files
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.7. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.
NAME link, unlink - link and unlink files SYNOPSIS link file1 file2 unlink file DESCRIPTION The link command is used to create a filename that points to another file. The unlink command is used to remove a link to a file. The only difference between ln(1) and link(1M) is that the latter simply makes the link(2) system call with the arguments specified. No error checking is performed. Analogously, unlink(1M) simply calls the unlink(2) system call with the specified pathname. Use of these commands is discouraged. The commands ln(1), rm(1), and rmdir(1) provide the necessary functionality in a safer manner. SEE ALSO ln(1), rm(1), rmdir(1), link(2), unlink(2).
