Linux的软链接（Symbolic Link，也称符号链接）相当于Window系统中的"快捷方式"。它是一个特殊的文件，其内容是另一个文件或目录的路径。
Linux中使用ln命令来创建软链接，创建软链接时必须加上-s参数
基本语法：
bash
ln -s [目标文件或目录的路径，即被链接的文件或目录] [软链接的名称/路径，即要链接去的路径]-s代表symbolic，如果忘记加-s，系统会默认创建一个硬链接。
省略规则：
当省略软链接路径时，ln会在当前目录下创建一个同名的软链接
bash
# 完整写法
ln -s /home/user/文档/周报.docx ./周报.docx
# 省略链接名（效果同上）
ln -s /home/user/文档/周报.docx效果 ：在当前目录创建名为 周报.docx 的软链接，指向 /home/user/文档/周报.docx
bash
[root@master etc]# pwd
/etc
[root@master etc]# ls -l yum.conf

# This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the metadata
# is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to
# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct
# information.
# It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like
# Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this checking
# interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something
# manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).
# metadata_expire=90m
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d如上，在/etc中有一个yum.conf文件，完整路径是/etc/yum.conf
但这个路径有点长，想给它构建一个快捷方式，放在root的家目录中
bash
[root@master ~]# ln -s /etc/yum.conf # 省略第三个参数：要链接去的路径。则会在当前目录创建软链接
[root@master ~]# ls
