pub fn soft_link<P: AsRef<Path>, Q: AsRef<Path>>(
original: P,
link: Q
) -> Result<()>
👎Deprecated since 1.1.0: replaced with std::os::unix::fs::symlink and std::os::windows::fs::{symlink_file, symlink_dir}
Expand description
Creates a new symbolic link on the filesystem.
The link
path will be a symbolic link pointing to the original
path.
On Windows, this will be a file symlink, not a directory symlink;
for this reason, the platform-specific std::os::unix::fs::symlink
and std::os::windows::fs::symlink_file
or symlink_dir
should be
used instead to make the intent explicit.
§Examples
use std::fs;
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
fs::soft_link("a.txt", "b.txt")?;
Ok(())
}
