The ln command means link, and the function is to create a link for a certain file. There are two kinds of links here, one is a hard link, and the other is a symbolic link, also called a soft link.
A hard link is a copy of the source file, the same size as the source file, but does not actually take up any space. Soft links can be understood as shortcuts in windows , which can create soft links for folders.
Common parameters:
Example
