createSymbolicLink(atPath:withDestinationPath:)

Creates a symbolic link that points to the specified destination.

Declaration

func createSymbolicLink(atPath path: String, withDestinationPath destPath: String) throws

Parameters

  • path:

    The path at which to create the new symbolic link. The last path component is used as the name of the link.

  • destPath:

    The path that contains the item to be pointed to by the link. In other words, this is the destination of the link.

Discussion

This method does not traverse symbolic links contained in destPath, making it possible to create symbolic links to locations that do not yet exist. Also, if the final path component in path is a symbolic link, that link is not followed.
