ln: manpage enumerates forms under EXTRA without examples #11564

Problem

The ln manual page mentions different usage forms under the EXTRA section:

In the 1st form, create a link to TARGET with the name LINK_NAME. In the 2nd form, create a link
to TARGET in the current directory. In the 3rd and 4th forms, create links to each TARGET in DIRECTORY.

The GNU page exemplifies these forms in the SYNOPSIS:

       ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINK_NAME
       ln [OPTION]... TARGET
       ln [OPTION]... TARGET... DIRECTORY
       ln [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY TARGET...

However the uutils page is missing any examples using TARGET, LINK_NAME, and DIRECTORY even though they are mentioned.
