If name\d2\u is given, the link has that name; otherwise it is placed in the current directory and its name is the last component of name\d1\u. .sp It is forbidden to link to a directory or to link across file systems. .sp .ti 0 FILES -- .sp .ti 0 SEE ALSO rm(I) .sp .ti 0 DIAGNOSTICS "?" .sp .ti 0 BUGS There is nothing particularly wrong with ln__, but links don't work right with respect to the backup system: one copy is backed up for each link, and (more serious) in case of a file system reload both copies are restored and the information that a link was involved is lost.
