Hard Link

An exact identical link of a given file.

• Inode is the same
• Inode will only be destroyed once all hard links are destroyed

ln <target> <name_of_link>

Default Hardlinks

• By default, the Inode of a directory will have two links. One for the directory itself, and another for the ./ hard link
• Subdirectories will also point to this directory with their ../ hard link
