Not all of the ln command's options are in every implementation. Refer to the documentation for your implementation to determine what options are available. |
The name child-element gives the name of the link. When there are several targets, this must be the name of a directory, in which the links to the targets will be created.
The base attribute allows you to specify the directory in which the operation will be performed. For a better description, see Element : <base>.
The type attribute generally can have one of two values: "symbolic" or "hard" to go along with how the ln works.
