                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - note "compatibility", this answers
                                    your first question.

     -h    If the target_file or target_dir is a symbolic link, do not
           follow it.  This is most useful with the -f option, to
           replace a symlink which may point to a directory.

     -n    Same as -h, for compatibility with other ln
           implementations.
