省略号（...）在手册页中的含义是什么

Question

我正在阅读ln手册页，并遇到了以下大纲。

ln [-Ffhinsv] source_file ... target_dir

上面的符号...是什么意思？

Answer 1

这意味着可重复的论证（source_file）。

来自man man：

The following conventions apply to the SYNOPSIS section and can be used
as a guide in other sections.

bold text          type exactly as shown.
italic text        replace with appropriate argument.
[-abc]             any or all arguments within [ ] are optional.
-a|-b              options delimited by | cannot be used together.

argument ...       argument is repeatable.
[expression] ...   entire expression within [ ] is repeatable.

根据手册页，像这样调用ln将为目标目录中的所有源文件创建链接，例如ln file1 file2 file3 target-dir/。
