You should generally use standard symbolic links (soft links), if you’re not sure which to use. So, if you created a hard link from /Users/example pointing to /opt/example and later moved /opt/example, the link at /Users/example would still point to the file, no matter where you moved it. However, if you create a hard link, it will actually point to the underlying inode on the file system. If you move the file at /opt/example, the link at /Users/example will be broken. For example, let’s say you have a symbolic-or soft-link from /Users/example pointing to /opt/example. A symbolic or soft link points to a path in the file system. In addition to symbolic links, which are sometimes called “soft links”, you can instead create “hard links”. If you browse to the /Library/Program directory in the Finder or any other application, it will appear to contain the files inside /Volumes/Program. Include the following in ~/.bash_profile or create a new file ~/.This is entirely transparent to the macOS operating system and the applications you use. #define CHECK(rc,check_value) if ((check_value) != noErr) exit((rc))įSResolveAliasFile( &fsRef, TRUE, &targetIsFolder, &wasAliased)) įSRefMakePath( &fsRef, targetPath, MAX_PATH_SIZE)) Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, License along with this program if not, write to the Free You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public General Public License for more details.
