In the first form, creates a symbolic link link which points to target. If link already exists, raises Errno::EEXIST. But if the force option is set, overwrites link.
Example
FileUtils.ln_s '/usr/bin/ruby', '/usr/local/bin/ruby' FileUtils.ln_s 'verylongsourcefilename.c', 'c', force: true
In the second form, creates a link dir/target pointing to target. In the third form, creates several symbolic links in the directory dir, pointing to each item in targets. If dir is not a directory, raises Errno::ENOTDIR.
Example
FileUtils.ln_s Dir.glob('/bin/*.rb'), '/home/foo/bin'
