=head1 NAME

checklinks - create/update symlinks

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<checklinks> [ B<-q> ]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Create or update symlinks based on a file

=head1 OPTIONS

=over

=item B<-q>

quiet. Hide unchanged symlinks

=back

=head1 FILES

The symlink definitions are read from the file F<.links> in the current working
directory. Each line contains, separated by spaces:

=over

=item the symlink type

This may be one of 'soft' or 'hard', indicating either a symlink or a hardlink.
Note: The use of hardlinks is discouraged and not documented. The following
definitions only apply to symlinks. For hardlinks, may the source be with you.

=item the source

path of the source, i.e. the symlink. Relative to $HOME

=item the target

path of the target, i.e. the symlink's destination.
This is relativ to the source. See I<path_resolution>(7)

=back

Lines beginning with an invalid symlink type will be ignored.

=head1 BUGS

There are no checks whether the symlink target actually exists
