如何在Linux上的目录中使用“ ln”创建链接？

Question

I tried linux command line "ln", seems it couldn't do this:

mkdir -p test1/test2/test3
ln -s test4 test1 #I wish to create test4 as symbolic link to test1
find test4

The result is weird:

$ls test1
test2 test4

Well, test4 is a subdirectory of test1, not a link to test4.

It didn't achieve what I expected. How should I achieve this? Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

You change the position of arguments ln [-fiqRrv] old new . The first position is original file/folder e the second is the symbolic link. Try this, that will create a symbolic link in test4 to test1

ln -s test1 test4
