====== 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
