- Rapzid 7y agoIn GNU coreutils ln help and man page it only ever uses TARGET to refer to the link target?
- inimino 7y agoI wasn't speaking specifically about GNU. Note though that even there you see a --target-directory, -t, -T flags that make literally no sense anymore once GNU reversed the meaning of the term.
