Symlink()

Symlink(path: string, linkFile: string): respBase;

Creates a symbolic link within the target file-system. The function takes two paths as input: the target path (a file or directory within the VFS) and the link path (which must also be within the scope of the VFS).

The function creates a special file at the link path that acts as a reference or pointer to the target path.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Explanation
path	string	The fully qualified root-based target path to the file/directory you wish to link to
linkFile	string	The fully qualified root-based path to the symbolic link file to be created

Returns a respBase object.

Example

var vfs = GetCurrentVFS();
if (vfs != null) {
    var resp = vfs.Symlink("/data/lastbackup.zip", "/links/bak.zip");
    if (resp.Ok()) {
        Log("Symbolic link created");
    } else {
        Log("Error: " + resp.ErrorMsg());
    }
} else {
    Log("VFS was null");
}
