Re: Source code of ln command
Greg, Thanks for the info. Could you tell me what is the best way to copy the whole source codes to my machine, so it's easy for me to find and understand in details some system functions?

If you installed source on your FreeBSD system, it's in /usr/src/bin/ln
Otherwise, you can download any version you want from cvs:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/bin/ln/
Note that ln(1) is a relatively simple interface to link(2), which is
in the kernel. Here's the complete source of the version supplied
with the Sixth Edition of UNIX:
main(argc, argv)
char **argv;
{
static struct ibuf statb;
register char *np;
if (argc2) {
write(1, Usage: ln target [ newname ]\n, 29);
exit(1);
}
if (argc==2) {
np = argv[1];
while(*np++);
while (*--np!='/' npargv[1]);
np++;
argv[2] = np;
}
stat(argv[1], statb);
if ((statb.iflagsFMT) == DIR) {
write(1, No directory link\n, 18);
exit(1);
}
if (link(argv[1], argv[2])0) {
write(1, Can't link\n, 11);
exit(1);
}
exit(0);
}
