in reply to (OT) Is there any difference "link" and "copy" functions
Did you actually read the docs?
On *ix, a link is a pointer to another file. Sort of like shortcuts in Windows (although better); copy (amended link) duplicates the contents of a file in a new file. Creating a link tells the directory that 'any time I refer to a file named fred, I really mean the file named Dr J Fred Mbogo.'
As an analogy, which may be best understood by US residents. The White House and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC refer to the place, by different names.
