  Unix - IeXwiki
UNIX is a portable, multi-tasking and multi-user computer operating system originally developed by a group of ATandT Bell Labs employees including Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and Douglas McIlroy.
By 1993 most of the commercial vendors of UNIX had changed their commercial variants of UNIX to be based upon SVR4, and many BSD features were added on top.
The UNIX trademark and the certification rights were sold to the X/Open Consortium, which was an industry group to define a "UNIX Standard".

 Intermediate UNIX Tutorial Notes
This second session on the UNIX operating system, called Intermediate UNIX, assumes a basic working knowledge of simple UNIX commands and an understanding of the concepts discussed in a previous seminar, An Introduction To UNIX.
The UNIX tools and facilities discussed in this document and tutorial are intended to help users to customize their working environment, simplify some complex tasks, and to do more sophisticated management of their files.
The ln program (short for "link") is used to make hard or symbolic links to files, allowing one file to be called by multiple names.

 UNIX
UNIX is a computer operating system which, over the years, has evolved into several major forms.
As UNIX imposes very few restrictions on filenames, it is possible to name your files in such a way that the contents can be easily recognized.
Because UNIX is a multi-tasking system, you can run one or more jobs in the background (unseen by the user) while continuing to work on another process in the foreground (seen on the user's screen).

In a stand- alone Unix system, user accounts are maintained in a file named /etc/passwd.
In a network system composed of many Unix machines, such information is usually maintained on a Server machine, which provides other Unix machines with a single copy of the user account information.
Unix has a special user, called the SuperUser or the Root, who can access any file.

 What’s GNU, Part Three | Linux Magazine
Unix and Linux shells and utilities were written with the assumption that you know what you’re doing.
The GNU utilities cp, mv, and ln have the option ––backup= method, which makes a backup of each file that would otherwise be overwritten or removed.
But that means that cp, mv, and ln can’t have a target directory with xargs (unless you use the tricky xargs options –i or ––replace).

While UNIX and MVS are very different in how they process data, there are enough similarities that knowing one system makes understanding the other relatively easy.

The advantage of a (symbolic) link is that you don't need to copy and therefor don't waste disk space *and* if you change the original source everyone who acceses it through the symbolic link would see the changes too.

 The Answer Gang 93: hard links   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Traditionally, in Unix systems a file or directory is physically deleted from the disk when there are no hard links to it.
So, 'ln' sees that you're trying to hardlink directories and doesn't even attempt it, instead giving a useful error message.
UNIX has chosen reference counting for disk space management.

TargetDirectory Description The ln command links the file designated in the SourceFile parameter to the file designated by the TargetFile parameter or to the same file name in another directory specified by the TargetDirectory parameter.
This means that a command such as ln -fs somepath/lname symdir will not follow the existing symbolic link of symdir, instead it will create a new symbolic link from somepath/lname to symdir.
If a destination path already exists and the -f flag is not specified, the ln command writes a diagnostic message to standard error without creating a new link and continues to link the remaining SourceFiles.

The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.
Symbolic links are not updated (they merely contain a string which is the pathname of its target); hard links always refer to the source, even if moved or removed.
The Single Unix Specification (SUS) specifies the behaviour that a link or links (either symbolic or hard) will be created where specified that will link to the target file (or directory) specified.

However, here it says the first option (after ln) is the target of the link and the final option is what to call the link
The way I remember this is that most utilities for which an existing, and new destination are arguments (cp, mv, ln...) have you give the existing file/directory first, and the new file/directory second.
Also be warned of many ExamCram and other certification books: they are often rushed to print and very often the proofreaders are not techies, so can't check for the technical accuracy of the information.

 PHP: link - Manual
I noticed that, differently from Unix ln command, the second parameter can´t be a directory name, i.e., if you want to create a link with the same filename of the target file (obviously on different directories), you must specify the filename on the link parameter.
As with the UNIX hardlink, ln(1), the target is the existing file.
Also, as with the UNIX system call link will fail if the link being created exists on a different filesystem.

 Live from Tokyo: Tech Blog: Skinning Cats
I now remember that 'ln' is like 'cp' or 'mv', in that the new thing is the last argument.
This even made a certain amount of sense when I learnt that, in the bad old days of Unix, ln, cp and mv were just three symbolic links to the one executable.
The mental trick I used to get used to the ln param order (I had the same instinctive ordering as you) was to 'pretend' the -s stood for 'source' rather than 'symbolic' (this works because I almost always make symbolic links instead of hard links).
