createSymbolicLink

Arguments

:: FilePath

Target file path

-> FilePath

Symbolic link name

-> SymbolicLinkFlags

-> IO ()

createSymbolicLink* functions don't check that file is exist or not.

NOTE: createSymbolicLink* functions are flipped arguments to provide compatiblity for Unix, except createSymbolicLink'.

If you want to create symbolic link by Windows way, use createSymbolicLink' instead.
