- Create a symbolic link.
+ Create a link.
+
+ On non-Windows and Windows with System Administrator
+ privleges this will be a normal symbolic link via
+ os.symlink.
+
+ On Windows without privledges the link will be a
+ junction for a directory and a hardlink for a file.
+ On Windows the various link types are:
+
+ Symbolic Link: A link to a file or directory on the
+ same or different volume (drive letter) or even to
+ a remote file or directory (using UNC in its path).
+ Need System Administrator privileges to make these.
- On Windows, use junctions if os.symlink fails.
+ Hard Link: A link to a file on the same volume (drive
+ letter) only. Every file (file's data) has at least 1
+ hard link (file's name). But when this method creates
+ a new hard link there will be 2. Deleting all hard
+ links effectively deletes the file. Don't need System
+ Administrator privileges.
+
+ Junction: A link to a directory on the same or different
+ volume (drive letter) but not to a remote directory. Don't
+ need System Administrator privileges.
+
+ Parameters:
+ source_path (str): The real file or directory that the link points to.
+ Must be absolute OR relative to the link.
+ link_path (str): The path where the link will exist.
+ allow_broken_symlinks (bool): On Linux or Mac, don't raise an exception if the source_path
+ doesn't exist. This will still raise an exception on Windows.
