ln , linking a file

mickeyboa · 04-05-2018, 09:04 AM

Fedora 27.
How do I create a ln (link) to /usr/share/cups/model/foomatic-db-ppds/Epson/ file from /opt/epson.

In other words how do I create a command ln * ?

Have you looked at the man page for ln? It tells you exactly how to create a link to any kind of file. Just remember to use the -s option if you want a symbolic link.

source -> destination

BW-userx, I don't understand what your saying.

Quote:

Source: a place, person, or thing from which something comes or can be obtained.

Destination: the place to which someone or something is going or being sent.

Example:

Code:

mv -v $source $Destination
cp -v $source $Destination
ln -s $source $Destination

Simple Math.
