pub fn symlink_dir<P: AsRef<Path>, Q: AsRef<Path>>(
original: P,
link: Q,
) -> Result<()>Available on Windows only.
Expand description
Creates a new symlink to a directory on the filesystem.
The link path will be a directory symbolic link pointing to the original
path.
The original path must be a directory or a symlink to a directory,
otherwise the symlink will be broken. Use symlink_file for other files.
This function currently corresponds to CreateSymbolicLinkW.
Note that this may change in the future.
§Examples
§Limitations
Windows treats symlink creation as a privileged action,
therefore this function is likely to fail unless the user makes changes to
their system to permit symlink creation. Users can try enabling Developer
Mode, granting the SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege privilege, or running
the process as an administrator.
