Creating symbolic links
To create a symbolic link (same order as in cp):
ln -s file_name link_name
To create a link with to a file in another directory, with the same name:
ln -s ../README.txt
To create multiple links at once in a given directory:
ln -s file1 file2 file3 ... dir
To remove a link:
rm link_name
Of course, this doesn't remove the linked file!
