Any file that contains a reference to another file or directory
In computing, a symbolic link (a.k.a. symlink or soft link) is a special computer file that refers to another file or directory by storing a path to it, thus providing an alternative access path without duplicating the target's content. Apps that use operating system services may treat a symbolic link like other files or directories, and would not know that it is a symbolic link unless they investigate its nature. A symbolic link will break if its target is moved or deleted. Symbolic links are supported in Unix-like operating systems and Microsoft Windows, although they impose varying limitations on them. Alternatives to symbolic links include hard links, shortcut files, and Windows shell objects.
