Unix/Linux ln command, I always forget of the left part is the file or link (it is the file)

Like forgetting about the tar syntax, I usually forget which is the left parameter in an ln command (the file or link? it is the file!)

Thanks cybercriti.biz:

There are two types of links

• symbolic links: Refer to a symbolic path indicating the abstract location of another file
• hard links : Refer to the specific location of physical data.

To create a symbolic link in Unix or Linux, at the shell prompt, enter the following command:

ln -s {target-filename} {symbolic-filename}
