# Basic syntax:
ln -s /path/to/source/directory/* /path/to/symlink/directory/
# Where:
# - -s means symlink
# - The /path/to/source/directory/ is where the "real" files are stored
# - The /path/to/symlink/directory/ is where the symlinks will be created
# - Glob patterns can be used to specify which files to link to
# Note, some other useful ln flags include:
# - -f and -i, -f removes existing symlinks and -i prompts before replacement
# - -r, which creates symbolic links with paths that are relative to the
# source directory
# - to delete all symlinks in the current directory, run:
# find . -maxdepth 1 -type l -delete
# Source Link
ln -s /home/jake/doc/test/2000/something /home/jake/xxx
# Basic syntax:
ls -s /path/to/file /path/to/destination/directory
# Note, as far as I know, you don't have to do anything special to create a
# symlink from another symlink. Just use the regular ln -s command on the
# symlinks
