On any Linux filesystem or Unix filesystem, you can create symbolic links or hard links that allow you to access files or directories from multiple locations. Hard links are entries in the filesystem index table that point to inodes, while symbolic links are a type of file that point to either a directory or to another file.

Information in this video could help you prepare for certain Linux certification exams, such as the CompTIA Linux+ exam, a Linux Professional Institute exam (LPI exam), or a Red Hat Linux certification exam.
