There is nothing wrong with saying
Create a symbolic link pointing to `src` named `dst`.
That is grammatically correct English.
We could say "create a sym link called dst pointing to src" but they mean exactly the same thing. And given that the order of parameters is src first and dst second, it makes more sense to keep the same order in the description.
Your analogy with
Finds `haystack` in `needle`
is not correct. The analogy would be
find(needle, haystack)
-> Finds `needle` in `haystack`
-> or search haystack for needle
os.symlink(src, dst)
-> create symlink pointing to source called dst
-> or create symlink called dst pointing to src
The order of arguments is the same as for ln:
ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINK_NAME
TARGET is src, LINK_NAME is dst.
I don't think that there is anything needed to be done here. |
