-<h2><a name="symlink">Symlink</a></h2>
-<h3>Description</h3>
-<p> Manages symbolic links on Unix based platforms. Can be used to
-make an individual link, delete a link, create multiple links from properties files,
-or create properties files describing links in the specified directories.
-Existing links are not overwritten by default.
-
-<p><a href="../Types/fileset.html">FileSet</a>s are used to select a
-set of links to record, or a set of property files to create links from. </p>
-<h3>Parameters</h3>
-<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
- <tr>
- <td valign="top"><b>Attribute</b></td>
- <td valign="top"><b>Description</b></td>
- <td align="center" valign="top"><b>Required</b></td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td valign="top">action</td>
- <td valign="top">The type of action to perform, may be "single",
- "record", "recreate" or "delete".</td>
- <td valign="top" align="center">No, defaults to single.</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td valign="top">link</td>
- <td valign="top">The name of the link to be created or deleted.<br/>
- <b>Note</b> this attribute is resolved against the current
- working directory rather than the project's basedir for
- historical reasons. It is recommended you always use an
- absolute path or a path like <code>${basedir}/some-path</code>
- as its value.

-<h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3>
-
-<h4>fileset</h4>
- <p><a href="../Types/fileset.html">FileSet</a>s
- are used when action = "record" to select directories and linknames to be recorded.
- They are also used when action = "recreate" to specify both the name of the property
- files to be processed, and the directories in which they can be found. At least one
- fileset is required for each case.</p>
-
-<h3>Examples</h3>
-
- <p> Make a link named "foo" to a resource named "bar.foo" in subdir:</p>
- <pre>
- &lt;symlink link="${dir.top}/foo" resource="${dir.top}/subdir/bar.foo"/&gt;
- </pre>
-
- <p> Record all links in subdir and it's descendants in files named
- "dir.links"</p>
- <pre>
- &lt;symlink action="record" linkfilename="dir.links"&gt;
- &lt;fileset dir="${dir.top}" includes="subdir&#47;**"/&gt;
- &lt;/symlink&gt;
- </pre>
-
- <p> Recreate the links recorded in the previous example:</p>
- <pre>
- &lt;symlink action="recreate"&gt;
- &lt;fileset dir="${dir.top}" includes="subdir&#47;**&#47;dir.links"/&gt;
- &lt;/symlink&gt;
- </pre>
-
- <p> Delete a link named "foo":
- <pre>
- &lt;symlink action="delete" link="${dir.top}/foo"/&gt;
- </pre>
-
- <p><strong>Java 1.2 and earlier:</strong> Due to limitations on executing system
- level commands in Java versions earlier than 1.3 this task may have difficulty
- operating with a relative path in ANT_HOME. The typical symptom is an
- IOException where Apache Ant can't find /some/working/directory${ANT_HOME}/bin/antRun
- or something similar. The workaround is to change your ANT_HOME environment
- variable to an absolute path, which will remove the /some/working/directory portion
- of the above path and allow ant to find the correct commandline execution script.
-
- <p><strong>LIMITATIONS:</strong> Because Java has no direct support for
- handling symlinks this task divines them by comparing canonical and
- absolute paths. On non-unix systems this may cause false positives.
- Furthermore, any operating system on which the command
- <code>ln -s &lt;linkname&gt; &lt;resourcename&gt;</code> is not a valid
- command on the command line will not be able to use action="single" or
- action="recreate". Action="record" and action=delete should still work. Finally,
- the lack of support for symlinks in Java means that all links are recorded as
- links to the <strong>canonical</strong> resource name. Therefore the link:
- <code>link --> subdir/dir/../foo.bar</code> will be recorded as
- <code>link=subdir/foo.bar</code> and restored as
- <code>link --> subdir/foo.bar</code></p>
