| Summary | 0000136: ln -s cf. symlink() | ||||||||||||
| Description |
The description of ln -s is out of date with respect to changes made to the symlink() function in the revision (setting of owner, timestamps, etc.). This could be fixed by adding equivalent statements to the ln page, but it would be preferable to avoid duplication. Thus the suggested change below takes the alternative approach of describing the behaviour of ln -s in terms of a call to symlink(). |
||||||||||||
| Desired Action |
Change "If the -s option is specified, ln shall create a symbolic link named by the destination path and containing as its pathname source_file." to "If the -s option is specified, actions shall be performed equivalent to the symlink() function with source_file as the path1 argument and the destination path as the path2 argument." |
