A symbolic link is a special type of = file that contains a reference to another file or directory in the form of = an absolute or relative path and that affects pathname resolution. Programs= which read or write to files named by a symbolic link will behave as if op= erating directly on the target file. However, archiving utilities can handl= e symbolic links specially and manipulate them directly. --=20 This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
