Name
symlink
Synopsis
symlink oldfile, newfile
Creates a new filename symbolically linked to the
old filename. The function returns 1 for success, 0 otherwise. On systems that don’t
support symbolic links, it produces a fatal error at runtime. Be
careful if you supply a relative symbolic link, since it will be
interpreted relative to the location of the symbolic link itself,
not your current working directory. See also link
and readlink .
