Two pathnames refer to the same directory entry iff the directories match and the final components' names match. Example: (assuming file1 is an existing file) ln -f file1 file1 This now fails while leaving file1 intact. It used to delete file1 and then complain it cannot be linked because it is gone. With -i, this error is detected before the question is asked. MFC after: 2 weeks |
