## symlink

    symlink oldfile, newfile

Creates a new filename symbolically linked to the old filename. The function returns `1` for success, `0` otherwise. On systems that don't support symbolic links, it produces a fatal error at runtime. Be careful if you supply a relative symbolic link, since itll be interpreted relative to the location of the symbolic link itself, not your current working directory. See also `link` and `readlink`.
