Yes, file system links refer to hard links and symbolic (soft) links in Linux. Here’s a brief overview:
Hard Links:
- Created using the
lncommand without options. - Share the same inode as the original file.
- Cannot link to directories or cross file system boundaries.
- Remain functional even if the original file is deleted.
Symbolic Links:
- Created using the
ln -scommand. - Have their own inode, pointing to the target file.
- Can link to directories and cross file system boundaries.
- Become broken if the target file is deleted or moved.
If you need more details or examples on how to create or use these links, let me know!
