Also keep in mind that the target for ln is optional. Thus:
ln -s foo/bar . ln -s foo/bar ...are equivalent. Sadly, cp foo/bar doesn't quite work. Greg

How Do I Make This Hard to Misuse? Posted Apr 9, 2008 3:33 UTC (Wed) by jzbiciak (✭ supporter ✭, #5246) [Link] That aspect of 'cp' always drove me nuts, probably because I learned MS-DOS first. I've found myself tempted to write a wrapper around 'cp' to make that form work. I won't, though, only because I know it'll wreak havoc when I go to use someone else's account for whatever reason. (e.g. to show them how to do something.)
