david cogen created IO-576:
------------------------------
Summary: FileUtils.deleteDirectory() doesn't specify how it
handles links
Key: IO-576
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-576
Project: Commons IO
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Utilities
Affects Versions: 2.5
Environment: Linux
Reporter: david cogen
If the directory I specify to FileUtils.deleteDirectory() contains a symbolic
link, does it follow the link and delete all the files the link points to?
(I HOPE not!)
But without the promise, I consider this too dangerous to contemplate using.
