A symbolic link is a special type of file > that contains a reference to another file or directory in the form of an > absolute or relative path and that affects pathname resolution. Programs > which read or write to files named by a symbolic link will behave as if > operating directly on the target file. However, archiving utilities can > handle symbolic links specially and manipulate them directly. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
