Each Linux command has a manual or “man” page for commands so for ln:

http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/ln1.html

The -s stands for symbolic link which is described more here:

Basically we are linking an essentially imaginary file to where wthe real file is installed for the configs for c64. We do it for a lot of configs to keep everything structured. (We also do it with the Genesis rom folder to the megadrive rom folder etc)
