2009-10-28rcsid[] and sccsid[] and copyright[] are essentially unmaintained (andTheo de Raadt
unmaintainable). these days, people use source. these id's do not provide any benefit, and do hurt the small install media (the 33,000 line diff is essentially mechanical) ok with the idea millert, ok dms
2009-02-08bump the posix reference in STANDARDS to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008, with a fewJason McIntyre

2008-05-28In -f mode, don't print a warning if source and target already pointTodd C. Miller
to the same inode. This is consistent with other implementations. OK deraadt@ miod@ ray@
2007-09-16"source" and "target" can be either files or directories;Igor Sobrado
cp(1) and ln(1) must have a synopsis consistent with mkdir(1), mv(1), rmdir(1) and others ok jmc@, millert@, otto@
2007-07-31Adapted from DragonflyBSD revisions 1.10 and 1.11: warn when sourceRay Lai
and target are identical. When -f is specified, don't delete source. OK sobrado, feedback from paesco, kettenis, and tedu.

2003-06-02Remove the advertising clause in the UCB license which BerkeleyTodd C. Miller
rescinded 22 July 1999. Proofed by myself and Theo.
2003-05-04The custom logic used for determining the basename of source fileNils Nordman
was flawed in that it did not account for trailing slashes. Use basename(3) instead. Fixes invocations where target is a directory and source has a trailing slash (e.g. ln -s /tmp/ .). Ok millert@.

2001-08-10Address PR 1993. This rewording has been deemed satisfactory by theHugh Graham
submitter's reportedly pedantic boss.
2001-08-09Actually use the statf function pointer which I missed while hand-patching.Todd C. Miller
Also, don't mention the -h and -n flags for the 2nd usage line since they are no-ops in that case.
2001-08-09Add -h flag to prevent following a symlink to a dir as the dest.Todd C. Miller
Also add -n as an alias for -h for compat with GNU ln. Patch from Phil.Pennock@globnix.org with minor changes by me.
2000-11-09Change all option list specifications to ".Bl -tag -width Ds". Most manAaron Campbell
pages just needed their -width parameter tweaked to "Ds", which provides a nice width of 6 constant characters. For consistency more than anything.
2000-10-18Add some rudimentary EXAMPLES sections and standardize the way we displayAaron Campbell
existing EXAMPLES sections.
2000-03-24All man pages should have a DESCRIPTION section. Fix some formatting nitsAaron Campbell
while we're here.
2000-03-23Fix some formatting problems I missed before.Aaron Campbell
1999-09-23Add an EXAMPLES section. Note that symbolic links may refer to non-existentAaron Campbell
files (as pointed out in symlink(2)). Fix some formatting, too.

1999-07-09- remove all trailing whitespaceAaron Campbell
* except when it is escaped with a `\' at the end of the line - fix remaining .Nm usage as well - this is from a patch I received from kwesterback@home.com, who has been working on some scripts for fixing formatting errors in mdoc'd man pages Ok, so there could be a cost/benefit debate with this commit, but since I have the patch we might as well commit it...
