Syntax
<Result> = fCreateLink(<Pointed file> , <Link destination> , <Type of link> [, <Command line> [, <Working directory>]])
<Result>: Boolean - True if the link was created,
- False otherwise. To get more details on the error, use ErrorInfo.
<Pointed file>: Character string Full path of the file toward which the link will point. <Link destination>: Character string Path and name of the file corresponding to the link to create. The extension of the link must be specified. <Type of link>: Integer constant Type of link to create: | | | fLinkPhysical | Create a physical link.
A physical link is a file that can be accessed via several paths. The file deletion can be performed only when all physical links have been deleted.
Caution: <Pointed file> and <Link destination> must be on the same disk. | | fLinkSymbolic | Create a symbolic link.
A symbolic link is a "pointer" to a file. The deletion of the symbolic link does not affect the pointed file. The deletion of the pointed file makes the symbolic link invalid. |
<Command line>: Optional character string Command line of the link. This parameter is taken into account when creating a symbolic link only.
<Working directory>: Optional character string Working directory of the link. This parameter is taken into account when creating a symbolic link only.
