Linux 符号链接文件的压缩与复制

symbolic links （符号链接）文件

压缩

zip命令使用-y选项，只压缩链接不压缩对应文件/文件夹

-y   store symbolic links as the link instead of the referenced file

# 压缩链接对应的文件
zip -r folder.zip folder_name
# 只压缩链接本身
zip -ry folder.zip folder_name

复制

cp命令使用-L或者-H选项，-H保留链接本身，-L复制链接对应文件

With symlinks, tools have two things they can do:

1. [-H] Treat the symlink as a symlink ("preserving its nature"), or
2. [-L] Treat the symlink as the type of file that it points to.
