The path_symlink() function creates a symbolic link (symlink) with the specified source path pointing to the target path. It requires the PATH_SYMLINK right on the base directory.

On POSIX systems, a similar functionality is provided by the symlink() function. It creates a symbolic link with the specified source and target paths. The symlink() function is part of the POSIX standard and is widely supported across different platforms.

Note

The path_symlink() function creates a symbolic link (symlink) with the specified source path pointing to the target path. It checks the necessary rights on the base directory. On POSIX systems, a similar functionality is provided by the symlink() function.
