DirectoryCreateSymbolicLinkTransacted Method (KernelTransaction, String, String, PathFormat)

[AlphaFS] Creates a symbolic link (similar to CMD command: "MKLINK /D") to a directory as a transacted operation.

 

Remarks

Symbolic links can point to a non-existent target.

When creating a symbolic link, the operating system does not check to see if the target exists.

Symbolic links are reparse points.

There is a maximum of 31 reparse points (and therefore symbolic links) allowed in a particular path.

See CreateSymbolicLink to run this method in an elevated state.
