I have been looking at my .cargo/bin directory.
The way I understand it, the programs "cargo", "rustc", "rustfmt"..., etc are symlinks to "rustup".
There also is a file called "rustup-init"
The files "rustup" and "rustup-init" are both identical according to diff.
Why are they no just the same file hardlinked?
