Suppose that I have a symbolic link link1 pointing to file1. When I
write to link1, I don't want file1 change. I want it to remove the
link generated a new file and write to it.
pipe '>' will change file 1. I'm wondering if there is way to do so,
so that I don't have to test whether it is a symbolic link or not
explicitly.
