Is there a single command to change the target of a symlink?
Say I have a link which points from mylink to A, made by
ln -s A mylink
and I want to make the link point to B instead. I can of course do
rm mylink
ln -s B mylink
but is't there a simpler way to do it? I would be amazed if there
weren't any (this operation occurs quite often), but I could not
find any clues in man ln.
Midnight commander lets you edit symlinks. However, I don't know how it
effects the change.
