PORTABILITY
POSIX.2. x/OPEN Portability Guide 4.0. All UNIX
systems.
The –s option only works on file systems which support symbolic links.
Only the –f option is part of the POSIX standard.
MPE/iX NOTES
This release of
MPE/iX does not support the creation of additional hard links to a file. It is only
possible to create symbolic links at this time.
In addition, because this release of MPE/iX does not provide the lstat() API, this command
cannot return information on the link itself. It attempts to determine when a symbolic link has
been referenced, but can only return the information on the target of the link, rather than the
link itself.
On
MPE/iX
, ln is available as both a built-in shell utility and an external utility.
For more information on how the current MPE/iX implementation may affect the operation of
this utility, see Appendix A, MPE/iX Implementation Considerations.
