ln: Create a hard link to a file.

$ ln ${-filename} ${path-to-hardlink}

try on your machine

This command is creating a hard link in Linux.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

ln is the Linux command for creating links between files.
${-filename} represents the name of the source file you want to create a hard link from. The - indicates that it is a variable, and you need to replace it with the actual filename.
${path-to-hardlink} refers to the location where you want to create the hard link. Again, replace it with the actual path.

In summary, you are using the ln command to create a hard link from a specific file to a designated location.
