# Symlink
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A symlink (symbolic link) is a \"normal\" file, which contains a pointer
|
||
|
|
to another filename. Since it really only points to another **filename**
|
||
|
|
it can
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- reference filenames on other filesystems
|
||
|
|
- reference filenames that don\'t actually exist
|
||
|
|
- save a reference to the name of a directory
|
||
|
|
|
