#:  * `ln`, `link` [`--overwrite`] [`--dry-run`] [`--force`] <formula>:
#:    Symlink all of <formula>'s installed files into the Homebrew prefix. This
#:    is done automatically when you install formulae but can be useful for DIY
#:    installations.
#:
#:    If `--overwrite` is passed, Homebrew will delete files which already exist in
#:    the prefix while linking.
#:
#:    If `--dry-run` or `-n` is passed, Homebrew will list all files which would
#:    be linked or which would be deleted by `brew link --overwrite`, but will not
#:    actually link or delete any files.
#:
#:    If `--force` (or `-f`) is passed, Homebrew will allow keg-only formulae to be linked.
