createJunctionPoint

Arguments

:: Text

mountDir

-> Text

destDir

-> IO ()

Create a junction point between two folders on the same filesystem.

mountDir should be the full file path to an empty folder. This folder should be on a local filesystem.

destDir should be the full file path to the junction point's target. The target must be a folder on the same filesystem as its source. The path should also be preceeded by "\??\". This indicates to Windows not to try validating the path before using it.

>>> createJunctionPoint "c:\\Windows\\System32" "\\??\\c:\\System32"

deleteJunctionPoint :: Text -> IO ()

This Deletes the junction point at the supplied path. An empty folder will be left in its place on success. A Win32Exception exception will be thrown in the event of an error condition.

getJunctionPointInfo :: Text -> IO Text

Discover the target of a junction point at the supplied path. A Win32Exception exception will be thrown if the target is either invalid or not a junction point. The returned path will be prefixed by "\??\".
