  2. Symbolic link - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link

    A symbolic link contains a text string that is automatically interpreted and followed by the operating system as a path to another file or directory. This other file or directory is called the "target". The symbolic link is a second file that exists independently of its target. If a symbolic link is deleted, its target remains unaffected.

  3. NTFS links - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_links

    An NTFS symbolic link is not the same as a Windows shortcut file, which is a regular file. The latter may be created on any filesystem (such as the earlier FAT32 ), may contain metadata (such as an icon to display when the shortcut is viewed in Remove links), and is not transparent to applications.

  4. ln (Unix) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ln_(Unix)

    The ln command is a standard Unix command utility used to create a hard link or a symbolic link (symlink) to an existing file or directory. [1] The use of a hard link allows multiple filenames to be associated with the same file since a hard link points to the inode of a given file, the data of which is stored on disk.

  5. Unix file types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_file_types

    A symbolic link is a reference to another file. This special file is stored as a textual representation of the referenced file's path (which means the destination may be a relative path, or may not exist at all). A symbolic link is marked with an l (lower case L) as the first letter of the mode string, e.g. in this abbreviated ls -l output: [5]

  6. NTFS reparse point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_reparse_point

    Their definition is persistent on the NTFS volume where they are created (all types of symbolic links can be removed as if they were files, using DEL symLink from a command line prompt or batch). [citation needed] The symbolic link data is similar to mount point data, in that both use an NT namespace path.

  7. Time-of-check to time-of-use - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-of-check_to_time-of-use

    Exploiting a TOCTOU race condition requires precise timing to ensure that the attacker's operations interleave properly with the victim's. In the example above, the attacker must execute the symlink system call precisely between the access and open. For the most general attack, the attacker must be scheduled for execution after each operation ...

  8. debugfs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debugfs

    debugfs_create_file – for creating a file in the debug filesystem. debugfs_create_dir – for creating a directory inside the debug filesystem. debugfs_create_symlink – for creating a symbolic link inside the debug filesystem. debugfs_remove – for removing a debugfs entry from the debug filesystem.

  9. Hard link - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link

    In computing, a hard link is a directory entry (in a directory-based file system) that associates a name with a file.Thus, each file must have at least one hard link. Creating additional hard links for a file makes the contents of that file accessible via additional paths (i.e., via different names or in different directori
