Symlinks are actually very simple pointer files. It's quite easy to end up with links pointing at missing files or the wrong files by creating them incorrectly.
In your case, you asked for a link called "text.txt" (because you only specified a directory as the second arguement) pointing to "text.txt" and to place it in the 'test' directory.
It did what you asked
If you want a relative symlink pointing to text.txt in the test directory, you need to create it from within the target dir. Otherwise, you can use an absolute link instead:
Would I be correct in assuming that find doesn't bother recursivley searching down sim links. (It doesn't seem to so I guess it doesn't!!!) Is there anyway to make it do so? (3 Replies)
I have some crypting functions in object-file - for example,func.o
Main file,from where crypting functions called, named as main.cpp .

But if I rename main.cpp to main.c and execute
"gcc main.c -o main func.o" - ok. If anybody,... (3 Replies)
Dear linuxers,
I'm a novice in C++ programming.
I wrote a ReadFile class in file ReadFile.cpp.
After that, I wrote a test.cpp, which contains a main function, to test whether my class work well.
I follow the following steps to compile the ReadFile.cpp file.

Hello
A new file is created every day with the date appended to the end of a name. We are using Autosys to run jobs which watches for the file and runs jobs. But Autosys does not have the capability to figure out the current date.
I tried creating a symlink like this

Hi. Can somebody tell me if there's a way of creating a symbolic link from a directory on one filesystem to that on another that will allow a find command that doesn't use the -L param to locate a particular file under that new 'linked' dir. With a normal sym link the find command on that... (6 Replies)

gensprep(8) ICU 50.1.2 Manual gensprep(8)NAME
gensprep - compile StringPrep data from files filtered by filterRFC3454.pl
SYNOPSIS
gensprep [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -v, --verbose ] [ -c, --copyright ] [ -s, --sourcedir source ] [ -d, --destdir destination ]
DESCRIPTION
gensprep reads filtered RFC 3454 files and compiles their information into a binary form. The resulting file, <name>.icu, can then be read
directly by ICU, or used by pkgdata(8) for incorporation into a larger archive or library.
The files read by gensprep are described in the FILES section.
OPTIONS -h, -?, --help
Print help about usage and exit.
-v, --verbose
Display extra informative messages during execution.
-c, --copyright
Include a copyright notice into the binary data.
-s, --sourcedir source
Set the source directory to source. The default source directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.
-d, --destdir destination
Set the destination directory to destination. The default destination directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.
ENVIRONMENT
ICU_DATA Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to /usr/share/icu/50.1.2/. Some tools in ICU depend on the presence of the
trailing slash. It is thus important to make sure that it is present if ICU_DATA is set.
FILES
The following files are read by gensprep and are looked for in the source /misc for rfc3454_*.txt files and in source /unidata for Normal-
izationCorrections.txt.
rfc3453_A_1.txt Contains the list of unassigned codepoints in Unicode version 3.2.0....
rfc3454_B_1.txt Contains the list of code points that are commonly mapped to nothing....
rfc3454_B_2.txt Contains the list of mappings for casefolding of code points when Normalization form NFKC is specified....
rfc3454_C_X.txt Contains the list of code points that are prohibited for IDNA.
NormalizationCorrections.txt
Contains the list of code points whose normalization has changed since Unicode Version 3.2.0.
