问题 Say that I set up a symbolic link: mklink /D C:\root\Public\mytextfile.txt C:\root\Public\myothertextfile.txt Editor's note: Option /D - which is for creating directory symlinks - is at odds with targeting files , as in this example, which has caused some confusion. To create a file symlink, simply omit /D . Is there a way to see what the target of mytextfile.txt is, using the command line? 回答1: As Harry Johnston said dir command shows the target of symbolic links 2014/07/31 11:22 <DIR> libs

问题 I have a problems with a git repository and windows. The problem is that the git repository has a linux symbolic link in it and with developers running windows, that obviously does not work. Now since that symbolic link should never change, I want to find a way to delete that on developers and add a folder in its place (which is what the symbolic points to) but have git ignore those particular changes. Now I can remove the symbolic links, create a folder of the same name and just add a

Enable native NTFS symbolic links for Cygwin

Recent NTFS and Windows implement symlinks: NTFS junction point can be used as directory symlink since NTFS 3.0 (Windows 2000) using linkd or junction tools. NTFS symbolic link can also be used as symlink (for both file and directory) since Windows Vista using mklink tool. But on Cygwin 1.7 (installed on Windows 7), ln -s creates a text file. on Cygwin: $ ln -s -v target mylink `mylink' -> `target' on MinGW (or your favorite editor): $ cat mylink !<symlink>ÿþt a r g e t Is it possible to tell Cygwing to use NTFS junction point or NTFS symbolic link ? other question: Is this available on MinGW?

How do I overcome the “The symbolic link cannot be followed because its type is disabled.” error when getting the target of a symbolic link?

问题 Following on from a previous question, I am creating a symbolic link on a Server 2008 from a Vista machine using UNC paths. I can create the link just fine. I can go to the Server 2008 box and double click on the link in explorer to open the target file. What I cannot do though is use FileCreateW to get a handle to the UNC path link (from the Vista box). When I try it, it fails and GetLastError() returns error code 1463 (0x5B7), which is: The symbolic link cannot be followed because its type

How to check if a symlink exists

由 [亡魂溺海] 提交于 2019-11-26 18:45:02
问题 I'm trying to check if a symlink exists in bash. Here's what I've tried. mda=/usr/mda if [ ! -L $mda ]; then echo "=> File doesn't exist" fi mda='/usr/mda' if [ ! -L $mda ]; then echo "=> File doesn't exist" fi However, that doesn't work. If '!' is left out, it never triggers. And if '!' is there, it triggers every time. 回答1: -L returns true if the "file" exists and is a symbolic link (the linked file may or may not exist). You want -f (returns true if file exists and is a regular file) or

What happens when I clone a repository with symlinks on Windows?

问题 There's been a lot of questions about adding support for symlinks on Windows. But, what actually happens when I clone a repository with symlinks on Windows? 回答1: Since version 1.5.3 of the native Git client git clone and git init will probe the target file system for symlink support and set the local repository configuration for core.symlinks accordingly, i.e. to false for FAT or NTFS. This makes symlinks created and committed e.g. under Linux appear as plain text files that contain the link

What is the difference between a symbolic link and a hard link?

由 流过昼夜 提交于 2019-11-26 16:50:24
Recently I was asked this during a job interview. I was honest and said I knew how a symbolic link behaves and how to create one, but do not understand the use of a hard link and how it differs from a symbolic one. Underneath the file system files are represented by inodes (or is it multiple inodes not sure) A file in the file system is basically a link to an inode. A hard link then just creates another file with a link to the same underlying inode. When you delete a file it removes one link to the underlying inode. The inode is only deleted (or deletable/over-writable) when all links to the

Cannot create a symlink inside of /usr/bin even as sudo

问题 When I try to symlink a binary in my /usr/bin folder, I get an Operation not permitted error: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python2 ln: /usr/bin/python2: Operation not permitted Even as sudo, I get this error. 回答1: Why can't I symlink into /usr/bin ? El Capitan's new System Integrity Protection feature prevents changes to several core parts of OS X, including most of /usr/ , even by root. How can I still add executable files to my path?
