# 1.0.0[−][src]Function std::fs::soft_link

    pub fn soft_link<P: AsRef<Path>, Q: AsRef<Path>>(src: P, dst: Q) -> Result<()>

👎 Deprecated since 1.1.0:

replaced with std::os::unix::fs::symlink and std::os::windows::fs::{symlink_file, symlink_dir}

Creates a new symbolic link on the filesystem.

The `dst` path will be a symbolic link pointing to the `src` path. On Windows, this will be a file symlink, not a directory symlink; for this reason, the platform-specific `std::os::unix::fs::symlink` and `std::os::windows::fs::symlink_file` or `symlink_dir` should be used instead to make the intent explicit.

# Examples

    use std::fs;

    fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
        fs::soft_link("a.txt", "b.txt")?;
        Ok(())
    }
