symlink - Introduction to the symlink command suite [Windows only]
The symlink command creates,
lists and removes symbolic links (symlinks) in the /afs file namespace.
The symlink_make(1) command is equivalent to ln -s on a UNIX platform.
symlink can manipulate symlinks created by ln -s on UNIX and vice versa.
The symlink commands are only available on Microsoft Windows platforms.
On UNIX platforms,
use the ln -s command.
Microsoft Windows added support for symlinks in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. /afs symlinks will be displayed by the Windows Explorer shell as NTFS Symlink Reparse Points. Symlinks can be copied from NTFS to /afs and vice versa. The Microsoft Windows MKLINK command can be used to create and remove symlinks in /afs but that command is only available to members of the Administrators group.
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
symlink_list(1), symlink_make(1), symlink_remove(1)
