===Linking Files===
[[Image:link-purpose.png|thumb|right|150px100px|Links are a powerful feature in the Unix / Linux operating system.]]
''Links are powerful and add flexibility to Linux filesystems because everything is a file.<br><br>There are two types of Linux filesystem links: hard and soft. The difference between the two types of links is significant, but both types are used to solve similar problems. They both provide multiple directory entries (or references) to a single file, but they do it quite differently.'' <br><br>Reference: https://opensource.com/article/17/6/linking-linux-filesystem
