10.69.84 symlink ¶

POSIX specification:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/functions/symlink.html

Gnulib module: symlink

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

• On some systems, symlink(value,"name/") mistakenly creates a symlink: macOS 14, FreeBSD 7.2, AIX 7.1, Solaris 9.
• This function is missing on some platforms; however, the replacement always fails with EPERM: mingw, MSVC 14.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• Some file systems do not support symbolic links.
