To: The corresponding destination path for each source_file shall be the concatenation of the target directory pathname, a slash character if a target directory did not end in a slash, and the last pathname component of the source_file. The second synopsis form shall be assumed when the final operand names an existing directory. XCU ERN 166 mv Accept as marked In ln XCU lines 21183 (2004 ed) Change step b to c Add new step 1 b If /destination/ names the same directory entry as the current /source_file/ ln shall write a diagnostic message to standard error, do nothing more with the current source_file, and go on to any remaining source_files XCU ERN 57 mv Accept as marked below Insert new sentence on ln 21887 before If... If the destination path exists and was created by a previous step it is unspecified whether ln shall write a diagnostic message to standard error, do nothing more with the current source_file, and go on to any remaining source_files; or will continue processing the current /source_file/. Add to RATIONALE for ln The specification ensures that 'ln a a' with or without the -f option will not unlink the file a. Earlier versions of the standard were unclear in this case.
