Today  they   are   supported   by  the   POSIX\noperating-system standard, most Unix-like operating systems such as\nFreeBSD,  GNU\/Linux,  and Mac  OS  X,  and  also Windows  operating\nsystems  such as Windows  Vista, Windows  7 and  to some  degree in\nWindows 2000 and Windows  XP.  Symbolic links operate transparently\nfor most operations: programs which read or write to files named by\na symbolic link will behave  as if operating directly on the target\nfile.  However,  programs  that   need  to  handle  symbolic  links\nspecially (e.g., backup utilities) may identify and manipulate them\ndirectly.\n\nsource : http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Symbolic_link<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNIX Command $ls -l vmlinuz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Dec 1 02:44 vmlinuz -&gt; boot\/vmlinuz-3.1.0-1-amd64 $ls -lL vmlinuz -rw-r&#8211;r&#8211; 1 root root 2725680 Nov 29 19:49 vmlinuz $ &nbsp; UNIX Explanation -L, &#8211;dereference when showing file information for a symbolic link, show information for the file the link references rather than for the link &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trueangle.org\/index.php\/2012\/01\/02\/ls-l-option\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;ls ( -L option )&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trueangle.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6569"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trueangle.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trueangle.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trueangle.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trueangle.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6569"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.trueangle.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6569\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trueangle.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trueangle.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trueangle.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
