A Linux symbolic link (also known as a symlink or a soft link) is a special type of file that points to another file or directory on a Linux system. Symbolic links are used to link files and directories located in different parts of the file system. Unlike hard links, symbolic links are not dependent on the original file or directory and can be used to link to files and directories located on other systems.
