Description
In chapter 3 of the tutorials, links are mentioned to be unidirectional. On the other hand, monitors are the ones which are actually unidirectional (at least in Erlang). Unidirectional in the sense that when one process dies, the monitoring process is not killed, while on the other hand in case of a link both the processes die implying bidirectional nature rather than unidirectional.
