 % ln filename linkname
  will cause linkname to be an alternate name (link name) to the
  existing file filename in the current directory.

 % ln dname/filename linkname
  will cause linkname to be an alternate name (link name) to the
  existing file dname/filename. This is only a file pointer, and
  ownership rights as well as the physical contents of the actual
  file are independent of the file pointer.
