Symlinks or Symbolic links in MAC

Here is the way and explanation on how to create symbolic links on Mac:

ln -s -i -v target linkname

where

• -s means that I want to create a symbolic link
• -i means that I will be prompted if the symlink already exists
• -v means that I'll see a message confirming that the symlink was created
• target is the path to the file or folder that I want to point to
• linkname is the path and name of the symlink file that I want to create

For example, to create a symlink to the file /Users/username/Documents/test.txt, and place that symlink in my home directory, I would use this command:
ln -s -i -v /Users/username/Documents ~/doc
