link_entry

v2_6_3 - Show latest stable - Class: FileUtils

link_entry(src, dest, dereference_root = false, remove_destination = false)

public

Hard links a file system entry src to dest. If src is a directory, this method links its contents recursively.

Both of src and dest must be a path name. src must exist, dest must not exist.

If dereference_root is true, this method dereferences the tree root.

If remove_destination is true, this method removes each destination file before copy.
