There are a few discrepancies between documented usages of -t and -T options Trivial usage message [1] implies -t exists and says: //usage: "[-sfnbtv] [-S SUF] TARGET... LINK|DIR" but opt does not handle it [2]: opts = getopt32(argv, "^" "sfnbS:vT" "\0" "-1", &suffix); and web site command help does not list -T (nor -t)[3]: ln ln [OPTIONS] TARGET... LINK|DIRECTORY Create a link LINK or DIRECTORY/TARGET to the specified TARGET(s) Options: -s Make symlinks instead of hardlinks -f Remove existing destination files -n Don't dereference symlinks - treat like normal file -b Make a backup of the target (if exists) before link operation -S suf Use suffix instead of ~ when making backup files [1] https://git.busybox.net/busybox/tree/coreutils/ln.c#n24 [2] https://git.busybox.net/busybox/tree/coreutils/ln.c#n64 [3] https://busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html
