What are three benefits of using symbolic links over hard links in Linux? (Choose three.)
- They can link to a directory.
- They can be compressed.
- Symbolic links can be exported.
- They can be encrypted.
- They can link to a file in a different file system.
- They can show the location of the original file.
Explanation: In Linux, a hard link is another file that points to the same location as the original file. A soft link (also called a symbolic link or a symlink) is a link to another file system name. Hard links are limited to the file system in which they are created and they cannot link to a directory; soft links are not limited to the same file system and they can link to a directory. To see the location of the original file for a symbolic link use the ls –l command.
