What is the usage method of the ln command in Ubuntu?

In Ubuntu, the ln command is used to create links. It has two common uses.

1. Create a hard link.

ln file1 file2

This will create a hard link named file2 in the current directory, pointing to file1.

1. Create a symbolic link (soft link):

ln -s target link_name

This will create a symbolic link named link_name, pointing to the target file or directory.

Note: Symbolic links are similar to shortcuts in the Windows system, while hard links are actual copies of the file.
