LinkTree


Creates symlink trees, also known as shadow directories.  Contains
extra logic to manage merging of directory trees.  This package is
being use to create complete perl installs with different version
mixes for integration testing.

- Prunes bad links and unused directories.

- Creates a listing of merged directories that can be use to perfectly
reconstruct the merge.

usage: linktree [-n] [-v] [-m 0777] [-u] (<src>|-f LINKTREES) <dest>
         -f <trees>    link all the directories listed in <trees>
         -m <mode>     create directories with <mode>
         -u            unlink
         If $LINKTREE_BASE is set, <dest> may be omitted.
 
       linktree -p [-n] [-v] [-f LINKTREES] <dir>
         -f <trees>    write a list of all directories linked into <dir>
         -p            prune bad links under <dir> (or $LINKTREE_BASE)
 
         -n            no operation mode
         -s            silent (don't warn about minor problems)
         -v            verbose
