sln(8)                      System Manager's Manual                      sln(8)

NAME
       sln - create symbolic links

SYNOPSIS
       sln source dest
       sln filelist

DESCRIPTION
       The sln program creates symbolic links.  Unlike the ln(1) program, it is
       statically  linked.   This  means  that  if  for some reason the dynamic
       linker is not working, sln can be used to make symbolic links to dynamic
       libraries.

       The command line has two forms.  In the first form, it creates dest as a
       new symbolic link to source.

       In the second form, filelist  is  a  list  of  space-separated  pathname
       pairs,  and  the  effect is as if sln was executed once for each line of
       the file, with the two pathnames as the arguments.

       The sln program supports no command-line options.
