| .SH NAME |
| sln \- create symbolic links |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .BI sln " source dest" |
| .br |
| .BI sln " filelist" |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| The |
| .B sln |
| program creates symbolic links. |
| Unlike the |
| .BR ln (1) |
| program, it is statically linked. |
| This means that if for some reason the dynamic linker is not working, |
| .BR sln |
| can be used to make symbolic links to dynamic libraries. |
| .PP |
| The command line has two forms. |
| In the first form, it creates |
| .I dest |
| as a new symbolic link to |
| .IR source . |
| .PP |
| In the second form, |
| .I filelist |
| is a list of space-separated pathname pairs, |
| and the effect is as if |
| .BR sln |
| was executed once for each line of the file, |
| with the two pathnames as the arguments. |
| .PP |
| The |
| .B sln |
| program supports no command-line options. |
| .SH SEE ALSO |
| .BR ln (1), |
| .BR ld.so (8), |
| .BR ldconfig (8) |
