command line interface - The "->" Notation in linux -


what "->" notation mean in linux .

eg. when ls -l in particular folder, following.

 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     29 feb 27 12:23 ojdbc.jar -> /apps/hadoop/sqoop/ojdbc6.jar 

is first file placeholder of second one?

kind regards.

the command "ls -l" uses "->" denote symbolic-link (that is, psuedo-file points file).

in example ojdbc.jar symbolic-link /apps/hadoop/sqoop/ojdbc6.jar.

i'm not aware meaning holds beyond ls, however.
