 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The create link command creates a soft link. If you specify the
      CDS_LinkTimeout attribute, you must specify an expiration time and an
      extension time.  If you omit the CDS_LinkTimeout attribute, the soft
      link is permanent and must be explicitly deleted.

    Privilege Required    [Toc]    [Back]
      You must have insert permission to the directory in which you intend
      to create the soft link.

 NOTE    [Toc]    [Back]
      This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may
      not be provided in future releases of DCE.

 EXAMPLE    [Toc]    [Back]
      The following command creates a permanent soft link named
      /.:/sales/tokyo/price-server that points to an object entry named
      /.:/sales/east/price-server.  The expiration value indicates that CDS
      will check that the destination name /.:/sales/east/price-server still
      exists on June 25,1995, at 12:00 p.m.  If the destination name still
      exists, the soft link remains in effect another 90 days.  Thereafter,
      CDS will check that the destination name exists every 90 days.
