Linux-isms

This article is somewhat of a glossary for all the phrases that I use that originate with Linux or related projects like GNU.

Symlink

  • Short for "Symbolic Link."
  • A file in a Linux system is really just a pointer to a location on a storage device.
  • A symlink is just a pointer to a pointer [repeat N times] to a location on a storage device.
