NAME

     sln - create symbolic links

SYNOPSIS

     sln source dest
     sln filelist

DESCRIPTION

     The  sln  program creates symbolic links.  Unlike the ln(1) program, it
     is statically linked.  This means that if for some reason  the  dynamic
     linker  is  not  working,  sln  can  be  used to make symbolic links to
     dynamic libraries.

     The command line has two forms.  In the first form, it creates dest  as
     a new symbolic link to source.

     In  the  second  form,  filelist  is a list of space-separated pathname
     pairs, and the effect is as if sln was executed once for each  line  of
     the file, with the two pathnames as the arguments.

     The sln program supports no command-line options.
