This module implements symlink (symbolic link) handling.
Procs
proc createSymlink(src, dest: Path) {.inline, ...raises: [OSError], tags: [ReadDirEffect], forbids: [].}
-
Create a symbolic link at dest which points to the item specified by src. On most operating systems, will fail if a link already exists.Warning: Some OS's (such as Microsoft Windows) restrict the creation of symlinks to root users (administrators) or users with developer mode enabled.
