DirectoryInfoCreateJunction Method (String, Boolean, Boolean) |
[AlphaFS] Converts the
DirectoryInfo instance into a directory junction instance (similar to CMD command: "MKLINK /J").
Remarks
The directory must be empty and reside on a local volume.
MSDN: A junction (also called a soft link) differs from a hard link in that the storage objects it references are separate directories,
and a junction can link directories located on different local volumes on the same computer.
Otherwise, junctions operate identically to hard links. Junctions are implemented through reparse points.
