+NAME
+ ln - make links between files
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINK_NAME (1st form)
+ ln [OPTION]... TARGET (2nd form)
+ ln [OPTION]... TARGET... DIRECTORY (3rd form)
+ ln [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY TARGET... (4th form)
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ In the 1st form, create a link to TARGET with the name
+ LINK_NAME. In the 2nd form, create a link to TARGET in
+ the current directory. In the 3rd and 4th forms, create
+ links to each TARGET in DIRECTORY. Create hard links by
+ default, symbolic links with --symbolic. When creating
+ hard links, each TARGET must exist.
+
+ Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for
+ short options too.
+
+ --backup[=CONTROL]
+ make a backup of each existing destination file
+
+ -b like --backup but does not accept an argument
+
+ -d, -F, --directory
+ allow the superuser to attempt to hard link
+ directories (note: will probably fail due to sys-
+ tem restrictions, even for the superuser)
+
+ -f, --force
+ remove existing destination files
+
+ -n, --no-dereference
+ treat destination that is a symlink to a direc-
+ tory as if it were a normal file
+
+ -i, --interactive
+ prompt whether to remove destinations
+
+ -s, --symbolic
+ make symbolic links instead of hard links
+
+ -S, --suffix=SUFFIX
+ override the usual backup suffix
+
+ -t, --target-directory=DIRECTORY
+ specify the DIRECTORY in which to create the
+ links
+
+ -T, --no-target-directory
+ treat LINK_NAME as a normal file
+
+ -v, --verbose
+ print name of each file before linking
+
+ --help display this help and exit
+
+ --version
+ output version information and exit
+
+ The backup suffix is `~', unless set with --suffix or
+ SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX. The version control method may be
+ selected via the --backup option or through the
+ VERSION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the val-
+ ues:
+
+ none, off
+ never make backups (even if --backup is given)
+
+ numbered, t
+ make numbered backups
+
+ existing, nil
+ numbered if numbered backups exist, simple other-
+ wise
+
+ simple, never
+ always make simple backups
