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Description The description of ln -s is out of date with respect to changes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."
