Create Symbolic Link at Path

This statement is used to create symbolic links to a specific file or folder. This differs from the Create Symbolic Links statement which is used to create a symlink to an audio file or its containing folder using metadata and a rename template.

A absolute symbolic link will be created to the specified file or folder. The specified paths may contain any of the escape sequences described in Escape Sequences. The resultant paths must be absolute (/) or relative to the Home folder (~/).

Note that when creating the symbolic link, all intermediate path components will be created if required.

This statement will only be executed once when running stepwise.

The action test state will be set to true if the symbolic link is created. If an item exists at the creation path and it is not a symbolic link, the statement will fail and set the test state to false. If an existing item is a symbolic link it will be overwritten.
