Hi all!
I'd like to know the differences between hard links and soft links. I've already read the ln manpage, but i'm not quite sure of what i understood.
Does a hard link sort of copy the file to a new name, give it the same inode number and same rights?
What exactly should I do to do this:... (3 Replies)

Here's what I have:
In /data, "ls -li" shows (among other things):

file::copy::link
File::Copy::Link(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation File::Copy::Link(3pm)NAME
File::Copy::Link - Perl extension for replacing a link by a copy of the linked file.
SYNOPSIS
use File::Copy::Link;
copylink 'file.lnk';
use File::Copy::Link qw(safecopylink);
safecopylink 'file.lnk';
DESCRIPTION
"copylink"
reads the filename linked to by the argument and replaced the link with a copy of the file. It opens a filehandle to read from the
link, deletes the link, and then copies the filehandle back to the link.
"safecopylink"
does the same as "copylink" but without the open-and-delete manouvre. Instead, it uses "File::Spec::Link" to find the target of the
link and copies from there.
This module is mostly a wrapper round "File::Spec::Link::linked" and "File::Copy::copy", the functionality is available in a command line
script copylink.
EXPORT
Nothing by default, can export "copylink", `"safecopylink".
