This can be useful to allow other modules that use readlink or symlink to be able to function correctly on Windows. Note that this is only required for full symlink support. Junctions, on the other hand do not require this, since that part of the NTFS reparse mechanism is already exposed to the user-land level.
However, symlink will not work correctly without it, nor will readlink be able to properly read symlinks. I ended up creating a fresh new module to properly implement symlink as well as junction , and a readlink that could read either one. I also want to greatly thank all of the wonderful folks in the perl IRC channels for their wisdom and advise. A hard link is the file system representation of a file by which more than one path references a single file in the same volume. To create a hard link, use the CreateHardLink function.
Any changes to that file are instantly visible to applications that access it through the hard links that reference it. However, the directory entry size and attribute information is updated only for the link through which the change was made. Note that the attributes on the file are reflected in every hard link to that file, and changes to that file's attributes propagate to all the hard links. To delete a hard link, use the DeleteFile function. Show 3 more comments.
Community Bot 1. Good answer. I usually use junction. A pity a symbolic link cannot be created by fsutil, at least from what I've read elsewhere. This is a hard link and thus not an answer to the question.

This worked great for me on Windows for creating a symbolic link to a folder on another drive. See aumha. Cool, never known about this feature before, thanks for the link, could be so much usefull!!!

Junction v1. Please rate your experience Yes No. Any additional feedback? Note Windows does not support junctions to directories on remote shares. In this article.
