Change Details

When '-F' option is used, the target directory needs to be unlinked. Currently, the modified target ("target/source") is being unlinked, and since it doesn't yet exist, the original target isn't removed. This is fixed by saving the original target in `target_dir` and later unlinking `target_dir` instead of unlinking the modified target. Hence, a symbolic link (with the same name as of the original target) to the `source_file` is produced. Update the test for ln(1) to reflect fix for option '-F' PR: 219943

When '-F' option is used, the target directory needs to be unlinked. Currently, the modified target ("target/source") is being unlinked, and since it doesn't yet exist, the original target isn't removed. This is fixed by skipping the block where target is modified to "target/source" when '-F' option is set. Hence, a symbolic link (with the same name as of the original target) to the source_file is produced. Update the test for ln(1) to reflect fix for option '-F' PR: 219943
