Hello:
Please consider adding features to ln to allow recursive linking of
files in a directory and the use of wildcards to support that feature.
At present, there appears to be no way to link large numbers of files in
a "batch"-type mode - each file must be linked individually, or a
work-around used such as for example "for i in /usr/local/lib/*; do ln
-s $i /usr/lib/ ; done". It would be nice to have that functionality
integrated into ln.
Methinks it would not.
Why is that a 'workaround?'.
Btw, that is just an example, isn't it?
Take a look at lndir, which comes with Xorg.
