mount symbolic link files
 

Hi, I was looking up the symbolic link command in bash, but it seems to be for directories. What is the command function in bash for files such that a file such as :
/path/to/file1.txt can be mapped to /diff/path/file2.txt
its not a shortcut, more like it tricks the system to think file2.txt is the actual file1.txt, so you can open file2.txt edit it, play it like usual?
Thanks,
Ted

Symbolic links work fine for regular files as well.

Ted, if you look in /lib, for example, you will find plenty of links to files.

Check out the man page for ln and you should be good to go.
