5 =head1 DESCRIPTION
6
7 The B<symlink> command creates, lists and removes Unix-style symbolic links
8 (symlinks) in OpenAFS filespace from a platform that does not support
9 symlinks, like Windows. The L<B<symlink make>|symlink_make(1)> command is
10 equivalent to C<ln -s> on a Unix platform. B<symlink> can manipulate
11 symlinks created by C<ln -s> on Unix and vice versa.
12
13 =head1 CAUTIONS
14
15 The B<symlink> commands are only available on Windows platforms. On
16 other platforms, use the C<ln -s> command.
