In Linux, Hard links can be defined as another name for an already existing file. For each file, we can generate an unlimited number of hard links. They have the ability to generate links for other hard connections. We can use the `
Is-I` command to find out the total number of hard links in a file. And we can create Hard links using the following command:
$ ln [original filename] [link name]?
Soft link is also known as a symbolic link. Soft links are files that, in most cases, lead to another file. It just links to another entry somewhere in the file system and does not include any data in the destination file. These kinds of connections can be utilized across several file systems. The following command can be used to create soft links :
$ ln -s [original filename] [link name]?
