NAME

	relink - A simple utility that modifies your symlinks

SYNOPSIS

	relink [OPTION]... [--] [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

	relink is a simple utility that modifies your symlinks

	FILE in a selected manner:

	*	Change linking to relative path, do not follow

		links.

	*	Change linking to absolute path, do not follow

		links.

	*	Change linking to relative path, follow links.

	*	Change linking to absolute path, follow links.

	*	Change into hardlink.

	*	Remove link but duplicate target.

	If FILE is omitted, the file list will be read from stdin.

OPTIONS

	--help

		Print help information.

	--copyright

		Print copyright information.

	--warranty

		Print warranty disclaimer.

	--version

		Print program name and version.

	--relative

		Link to relative path. (default)

	--absolute

		Link to absolute path.

	--symlink

		Keep as symbolic link. (default)

	--hardlink

		Change into hardlink.

	--duplicate

		Duplicate target instead of linking.

	--follow-links

		Follow symlinks when resolving target.

	--recursive

		Change links that are inside directories.

	--nul

		Use NUL instead of LF as filename terminator

		when reading the filelist from stdin.

RATIONALE

	Moving files around when symlinks are invoked can be

	hell. Additionally, file managers seldom let you choose

	whether symlinks should be relative or absolute.
