Synopsis

Description

This command creates a symbolic link named filename2 that points to the file or directory specified by filename1. If the link fails, a Tcl error is generated, unless -nocomplain is specified. This is a legacy command from when Tcl did not have this functionality. It is now recommended you use Tcl's file link command instead.

COMMANDS

ns_symlink ?-nocomplain? filename1 filename2

 ns_symlink $file1 $file2

is equivalent to:

 file link -symbolic $file1 $file2

EXAMPLES

 % ns_symlink 

Keywords
