What is softlink?
Wow, a question that actually makes sense.Symbolic links began to appear in operating systems as far back as the mid to late 1970s. Symbolic links are supported by all operating systems that are POSIX compliant.In the Unix/Linux world, the ln command is used to create a symbolic link. To provide a more specific answer to your question, a soft link is a symbolic link that can span file systems. A hard link by contrast, must point to another inode on the same file system. Not all operating systems support symbolic links (the FAT file system does not for instance).See the man page for ln for specific information on the use of the Linux/Unix ln command.
