link farm

(file system, Unix)A directory tree that contains mostlysymbolic links to files in a master directory tree of files.Link farms save space when one is maintaining several nearlyidentical copies of the same source tree - for example, whenthe only difference is architecture-dependent object files.They also mean that changes to the master tree are instantlyvisible in the link farm. Good text editors provide theoption to replace a link with a new version of the target filewhen saving thus allowing the farm to have its own versions ofjust those files that differ from the master tree.

E.g. "Let's freeze the source and then rebuild the FROBOZZ-3and FROBOZZ-4 link farms."

Link farms may also be used to get around restrictions on thenumber of "-I" (include-file directory) arguments on older Cpreprocessors. However, they can also get completely out ofhand, becoming the file system equivalent of spaghetti code.
