Zig 0.17.0-dev (Split by item)

This is an example of documentation generated by ZigDoc, an alternative to Zig's built-in Auto Doc feature. See also examples in other modes/formats. The project being documented here (as the example) is the Zig library itself.

symLink

Creates a symbolic link named sym_link_path which contains the string target_path.

A symbolic link (also known as a soft link) may point to an existing file or to a nonexistent one; the latter case is known as a dangling link.

If sym_link_path exists, it will not be overwritten.

On Windows, both paths should be encoded as WTF-8. On WASI, both paths should be encoded as valid UTF-8. On other platforms, both paths are an opaque sequence of bytes with no particular encoding.
