NAME
       sln - create symbolic links

SYNOPSIS
       sln source dest
       sln filelist

DESCRIPTION
       The  sln  program  creates  symbolic  links.   Unlike  the ln(1) program, it is statically
       linked.  This means that if for some reason the dynamic linker is not working, sln can  be
       used to make symbolic links to dynamic libraries.

       The command line has two forms.  In the first form, it creates dest as a new symbolic link
       to source.

       In the second form, filelist is a list of space-separated pathname pairs, and  the  effect
       is  as  if  sln was executed once for each line of the file, with the two pathnames as the
       arguments.

       The sln program supports no command-line options.
