[ file->linkTo ]
The [file->linkTo] method creates a link to the file referred to in the path of the [file] object to the new path specified by the first parameter. The method can take an optional second parameter which is a boolean that flags whether to create a hard link instead of a symbolic link. The default for this second parameter is false which means the method will create a symbolic link.
- Syntax
local(f) = file(...)
#f->linkTo('/path/to/file.txt')
