links in linux
I am trying to create hard links in linus and not having much linux knowledge I am running into problems. Does the link only create from file to file or can a file be linked to a dir

thanks in advance

Hard links (the default for the ln utility) may not normally refer to directories and may not span file systems. Symbolic links (ln -s) may refer to directories and may span file systems.
