Public Methods

Method	Description
CreateSymlink ( [ sourcePath, [ targetPath ) : void	Creates a new Cygwin symbolic link (http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#pathnames-symlinks).
IsSymlink ( [ path ) : bool	Checks whether a file is a Cygwin symbolic link (http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#pathnames-symlinks).
IsSymlink ( [ path, string &target ) : bool	Checks whether a file is a Cygwin symbolic link (http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#pathnames-symlinks).

Method	Description
HasSystemAttribute ( string path ) : bool	Checks whether a file has the FileAttributes.System attribute set. Always `true` on non-Windows systems since they do not expose this attribute, so we assume it might be set.

Creates a new Cygwin symbolic link (http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#pathnames-symlinks).

There was an IO problem writing the file. Write access to the file was denied. This method is called on a platform other than Windows.

public static CreateSymlink ( [ sourcePath, [ targetPath ) : void
sourcePath	[	The path of the link to create.
targetPath	[	The path of the existing file or directory to point to (relative to ).
return	void

Checks whether a file is a Cygwin symbolic link (http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#pathnames-symlinks).

There was an IO problem reading the file. Read access to the file was denied.

public static IsSymlink ( [ path ) : bool
path	[	The path of the file to check.
return	bool
