Lines Matching full:links

36 Symbolic links are files that act as pointers to other files.
37 To understand their behavior, you must first understand how hard links
43 Hard links may not refer to directories and may not reference files
47 For this reason, symbolic links may reference directories and may span
60 Symbolic links are handled either by operating on the link itself,
66 Symbolic links may reference other symbolic links,
67 in which case the links are dereferenced until an object that is
72 links that may be followed, and an error results if this limit is
80 Symbolic links used as file name arguments for system calls.

103 There are thirteen system calls that do not follow links, and which operate

182 The second area is symbolic links, specified as command line file
185 Except as noted below, commands follow symbolic links named as command
227 commands do not follow symbolic links named as arguments,
243 command follows symbolic links named as arguments if the
269 commands do not follow symbolic links named as argument by default,
