This is very helpful. Usually in OpenBSD, you create a symbolic link
/var/www which has limited space and have it point to /home/www where
actual data is stored and which has more space.
This particular example could be
Create a symbolic link named /var/www and point it to /home/www:
# ln -s /home/www /var/www
A good example is one that actually works.
Since /var/www exists in the default configuration on OpenBSD, your example
will create a symlink in the real /var/ww called www, pointing to
/home/www, and will never get used.
$ sudo ln -s /home/www /var/www
$ ls -l /var/www/www
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root daemon 9 Sep 20 12:36 /var/www/www -> /home/www
$
To make it work, you'd have to explain the rationale, show the command
for moving
the contents (bikeshed warning!), then rmdir /var/www, and finally do
your symlink.
It's not worth it. Pick a simpler example.
