How to Make & Remove Symlink in Linux RHEL 7 Make Your Job Easier

ln - make links between files. In  the 1st form, create a link to TARGET with the name LINK_NAME.  In the 2nd form, create a link to TARGET in the current directory.  In the 3rd and 4th forms, create links to each TARGET in DIRECTORY. Create  hard links by default, symbolic links with --symbolic.  

By default, each destination (name of new link) should not already exist.  When creating hard links,  each  TARGET  must  exist.   Symbolic links  can  hold arbitrary text; if later resolved, a relative link is interpreted in relation to its parent directory.
