pub fn soft_link<P, Q>(original: P, link: Q) -> Result<(), Error>

Expand description

Creates a new symbolic link on the filesystem.

The link path will be a symbolic link pointing to the original path. On Windows, this will be a file symlink, not a directory symlink; for this reason, the platform-specific std::os::unix::fs::symlink and std::os::windows::fs::symlink_file or symlink_dir should be used instead to make the intent explicit.

§Examples

use std::fs;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    fs::soft_link("a.txt", "b.txt")?;
    Ok(())
}
