RE: Reg : linux 1n -f command

Hmmm.....you could try the man page for the 'ln' command.

 

Here's an excerpt pertaining to the '-f' option:

     -f    Link files without questioning the user, even  if  the

           mode of target forbids writing. This is the default if

           the standard input is not a terminal.

Hi,


 My friend has this below problem.

Can anyone please let me know the complete functionality of ln - f
command. 

When used in this way , 

 

For example , statement like this

 ln -f $EUAP_TOP/sql/HWAPREMO.sql $AP_TOP/sql/HWAPREMO.sql 

is deleting the file in $AP_TOP/sql directory.

 

Waiting for your kind reply. 

 

Thanks.

Ann
