- Linux allows creating a File, which is actually a link to another
File (or Directory).
- Such a File is called "symbolic link".
- Symbolic links can be used for:
- Creating a short-cut for a File with a long path.
- Giving a program the impression that it can find a File in one location,
even if the File is found in a different location.
- Amazing your friends or bewildering them.
