The discussion of hard vs soft links is way outside the scope of this

different rules (both in how they work, and in how they are created).
Hope that clears things up - the man page for ln refers to *where* the
ln command will place the symlink file - I don't think the ln manpage
does (or should) cover how the OS resolves symlinks.
I don't believe it does, but then I really don't think it needs to. All
it says is that it creates a file that contains the path to another
file. The way I think of it is simply that the second parameter to ln is
the filename of the file that is created, and the first parameter is the
contents of that file. Once you understand that, it becomes obvious.
