- ## This module implements symlink (symbolic link) handling.
- from paths import Path, ReadDirEffect
- from std/private/ossymlinks import symlinkExists, createSymlink, expandSymlink
- proc symlinkExists*(link: Path): bool {.inline, tags: [ReadDirEffect].} =
- ## Returns true if the symlink `link` exists. Will return true
- ## regardless of whether the link points to a directory or file.
- result = symlinkExists(link.string)
- proc createSymlink*(src, dest: Path) {.inline.} =
- ## Create a symbolic link at `dest` which points to the item specified
- ## by `src`. On most operating systems, will fail if a link already exists.
- ##
- ## .. warning:: Some OS's (such as Microsoft Windows) restrict the creation
- ## of symlinks to root users (administrators) or users with developer mode enabled.
- ##
- ## See also:
- ## * `createHardlink proc`_
- ## * `expandSymlink proc`_
- createSymlink(src.string, dest.string)
- proc expandSymlink*(symlinkPath: Path): Path {.inline.} =
- ## Returns a string representing the path to which the symbolic link points.
- ##
- ## On Windows this is a noop, `symlinkPath` is simply returned.
