I wish to know about usage of Symbolic Link please. I saw it in "The Linux Command Line" Fifth Internet Edition

Sincerely, Davood

    this is one of those questions where simply searching the internet for "symbolic link" would give you more than enough resources. – rtaft Mar 21 '23 at 19:55
  • For future reference, it should be noted that 12.04 and 14.04 are EOL and therefore are off topic here. – mchid Mar 21 '23 at 21:03
  • Your question tags make no sense, you're asking about a Desktop (Lubuntu is a desktop system) but also not a Desktop but a Server? Only supported releases of Ubuntu (standard support) are on-topic for this site (12.04 or the 2012-April release is EOL, 14.04 LTS is EOSS or ESM & off-topic here too). Please refer https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic – guiverc Mar 21 '23 at 22:07

A symlink is a symbolic Linux/ UNIX link that points to another file or folder on your computer, or a connected file system. This is similar to a Windows shortcut. Symlinks can take two forms: Soft links are similar to shortcuts, and can point to another file or directory in any file system.
