"linked" should be avoided. this is the exact problem the current
documentation has. linked from? linked too?
i'd explain it like this: i'd give the synopsis, then an immediate
example. i'd LOVE to see a quick sample USEFUL and most common
invocation of a short command right there in the synopsis section. i
think many such utilities' manpages should do that.
ln [-b0rk] link_to [link_from]
"% ln file link" makes a link FROM "link" TO "file".
