SHTOOL-MKLN.TMP(1) GNU Portable Shell Tool SHTOOL-MKLN.TMP(1)NAME
shtool-mkln - GNU shtool enhanced ln(1) replacement
SYNOPSIS
shtool mkln [-t|--trace] [-f|--force] [-s|--symbolic] src-path [src-path ...] dst-path
DESCRIPTION
This is a ln(1) style command. It is enhanced to provide automatic calculation and usage of relative links with the shortest possible path,
if possible. Usually if src-path and dst-path are not absolute paths or at least they share a common prefix except the root directory
(``"/"''). When more than one src-path is specified, all of them are linked into dst-path.
OPTIONS
The following command line options are available.
-t, --trace
Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.
-f, --force
Force the creation of the link even if it exists. Default is to fail with error.
-s, --symbolic
Create a symbolic link instead of a hard-link.
EXAMPLE
# shell script
shtool mkln -s foo/bar baz/quux
HISTORY
The GNU shtool fixperm command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1998 for ePerl.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), ln(1).

SHTOOL-MKSHADOW.TMP(1) GNU Portable Shell Tool SHTOOL-MKSHADOW.TMP(1)NAME
shtool-mkshadow - GNU shtool create shadow tree using symlinks
SYNOPSIS
shtool mkshadow [-v|--verbose] [-t|--trace] [-a|--all] src-dir dst-dir
DESCRIPTION
This command creates a shadow tree of src-dir under dst-dir by recreating the directory hierarchy of src-dir under dst-dir and by creating
the files of src-dir by linking them into the corresponding directories under dst-dir via symbolic links. When src-dir can be reached via
relative paths from dst-dir, relative symbolic links are used, too. This high-level functionality is originally designed for developers to
create copies of source trees.
OPTIONS
The following command line options are available.
-v, --verbose
Display some processing information.
-t, --trace
Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.
-a, --all
Really shadow all files and directories in src-dir. Default is to skip CVS related files and directories, backup files, object files,
etc.
EXAMPLE
# shell script
shtool mkshadow -v -a . /tmp/shadow
HISTORY
The GNU shtool mkshadow command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1998 for Apache. It was later
revised and taken over into GNU shtool.
