From 61c79b122e44f58607ac5f393bcf9b4a7a821178 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sheldonh Date: Mon, 20 Dec 1999 16:13:47 +0000 Subject: Add link(1) and unlink(1) as special cases of ln(1) and rm(1) respectively, in accordance with SUSv2. This differs from the approach taken in NetBSD, but provides less obscure error messages in at least the EISDIR case and does not take up additional disk space for new binaries.
