- This manual page documents the GNU version of llnn. If the
- last argument names an existing directory, llnn links each
- other given file into a file with the same name in that
- directory. If only one file is given, it links that file
- into the current directory. Otherwise, if only two files
- are given, it links the first onto the second. It is an
- error if the last argument is not a directory and more
- than two files are given. It makes hard links by default.
- By default, it does not remove existing files.

- The suffix used for making simple backup files can
- be set with the SSIIMMPPLLEE__BBAACCKKUUPP__SSUUFFFFIIXX environment
- variable, which can be overridden by this option.
- If neither of those is given, the default is `~',
- as it is in Emacs.

- The type of backups made can be set with the VVEERR--
- SSIIOONN__CCOONNTTRROOLL environment variable, which can be
- overridden by this option. If VVEERRSSIIOONN__CCOONNTTRROOLL is
- not set and this option is not given, the default
- backup type is `existing'. The value of the VVEERR--
- SSIIOONN__CCOONNTTRROOLL environment variable and the argument
- to this option are like the GNU Emacs `version-
- control' variable; they also recognize synonyms
- that are more descriptive. The valid values are
- (unique abbreviations are accepted):
-
- `t' or `numbered'
- Always make numbered backups.
-
- `nil' or `existing'
- Make numbered backups of files that already
- have them, simple backups of the others.
-
- `never' or `simple'
- Always make simple backups.
