nx

nx (from Latin nexus — binding/link) creates hard links or symbolic links between files. It is the core Vesper Linux replacement for GNU ln.

Usage

nx [-s] [-f] [-v] [-T] FILE LINK

Flags

• -s — create a symbolic link instead of a hard link.
• -f — remove existing destination files before linking.
• -v — verbose mode; print created link targets.
• -T — treat destination link name as a normal file.

Examples

Create a hard link:

nx original.txt hardlink.txt

Create a symbolic link:

nx -s /opt/bin/app /usr/local/bin/app

Force-overwrite an existing symlink with verbose output:

nx -s -f -v target.conf current.conf
