For more information about ln(1) see the man page.
The path to the symlink is optional; if omitted,
ln
defaults to making a link with the same name as the destination, in the current directory:To create a symlink to replace a system directory (e.g. if you want to have
/Users
pointing to another disk drive), you need to disable System Integrity Protection. You can re-enable it after the symlink is set up.
