symlink

问题 Recently I was asked this during a job interview. I was honest and said I knew how a symbolic link behaves and how to create one, but do not understand the use of a hard link and how it differs from a symbolic one. 回答1: Underneath the file system files are represented by inodes (or is it multiple inodes not sure) A file in the file system is basically a link to an inode. A hard link then just creates another file with a link to the same underlying inode. When you delete a file it removes one

问题 I want to make a symbolic link in Linux. I have written this Bash command where the first path is the folder I want link into and the second path is the compiled source. ln -s \'+basebuild+\'/IpDome-kernel/kernel /home/build/sandbox/gen2/basebuild/IpDome-kernel/kernal Is this correct? 回答1: To create a new symlink (will fail if symlink exists already): ln -s /path/to/file /path/to/symlink To create or update a symlink: ln -sf /path/to/file /path/to/symlink 回答2: ln -s TARGET LINK_NAME Where the

问题 Our developers use a mix of Windows and Unix based OS\'s. Therefore, symlinks created on Unix machines become a problem for Windows developers. In windows (msysgit), the symlink is converted to a text file with a path to the file it points to. Instead, I\'d like to convert the symlink into an actual Windows symlink. The ( updated ) solution I have to this is: Write a post-checkout script that will recursively look for \"symlink\" text files. Replace them with windows symlink (using mklink)

问题 If I have a file or directory that is a symbolic link and I commit it to a Git repository, what happens to it? I would assume that it leaves it as a symbolic link until the file is deleted and then if you pull the file back from an old version it just creates a normal file. What does it do when I delete the file it references? Does it just commit the dangling link? 回答1: Git just stores the contents of the link (i.e. the path of the file system object that it links to) in a 'blob' just like it
