ln: Allow a trailing slash when creating a link to a directory.
In the 'ln source... directory' synopsis, the basename of each source
determines the name of the created link. Determine this using basename(3)
instead of strrchr(..., '/') which is incorrect if the pathname ends in a
slash.
The patch is somewhat changed to allow for basename(3) implementations that
change the passed pathname, and to fix the -w option's checking also.
The code to compare directory entries only applies to hard links, which
cannot be created to directories using ln.
Example:
ln -s /etc/defaults/ /tmp
This should create a symlink named defaults.
