\s-1gnu\s0 shtool enhanced ln\|(1) replacement
shtool mkln [-t|--trace] [-f|--force] [-s|--symbolic] src-path [src-path ...] dst-path
This is a ln\|(1) style command. It is enhanced to provide automatic calculation and usage of relative links with the shortest possible path, if possible. Usually if src-path and dst-path are not absolute paths or at least they share a common prefix except the root directory (``\*(C`/\*(C'''). When more than one src-path is specified, all of them are linked into dst-path.
The following command line options are available.
Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.
Force the creation of the link even if it exists. Default is to fail with error.
Create a symbolic link instead of a hard-link.
# shell script shtool mkln -s foo/bar baz/quux
