Copy of Symbolic link
How do i copy a sym link from one location to another
|
Read the cp man page. There are options not to deference the symlinks when copying, if that's what you mean.
Note however that the symlink will be broken if it points to a relative path. |
I think just make a new link. (ln -s or cp -l)
A link is intended to behave as if it were the actual file, thus "cp <linkname> /new/place" means "copy the file that linkname points to.) |
