File and Path Function

int symlink(const char *oldname, const char *newname);

Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview

The symlink function makes a symbolic link to oldname named newname. It returns 0 if successful; else it returns -1 and sets the global errno variable to the error value.

There is no wide-character version of this function.

I18n Issues

On ANSI UTF-16 platforms, use a conversion function to convert the wide-character strings to multibyte-character strings and then call symlink.

See Pathnames for a discussion of path and filename considerations in an internationalized application.

Recommended Replacements*

ANSI UTF-8	`symlink`
ANSI UTF-16	convert and call `symlink`

*If you're already using the recommended function, see I18n Issues for other reasons why Globalyzer is detecting the function.
