What is a key difference between hard and soft links?

• The modification date of the file

• The unique identifier for the file's data

What happens when you modify a file that has multiple hard links?

• All hard links to the file reflect the change.

• The file becomes corrupted.

• Only the modified link changes.

How can you verify the inode number of a file in Linux?

• Using the 'inode' command
