If /home/zach/draft and /home/max/letter are links to the same file and the
following sequence of events occurs, what will be the date in the opening of
the letter?
- Max gives the command vim letter.
- Zach gives the command vim draft.
- Zach changes the date in the opening of the letter to January 31, writes
the file, and exits from vim.

Question #12
What is an inode? What happens to the inode when you move a file within
a filesystem?
Question #13
The ls –i command displays a filename preceded by the inode number of the
file (page 115). Write a command to output inode/filename pairs for the
files in the working directory, sorted by inode number. (Hint: Use a
pipeline.)
