NAME

       PerlIO::via::symlink - PerlIO layers for create symlinks

SYNOPSIS

        open $fh, '>:via(symlink)', $fname;
        print $fh "link foobar";
        close $fh;

DESCRIPTION

       The PerlIO layer "symlink" allows you to create a symbolic link by writing to the file
       handle.

       You need to write C"link $name" to the file handle. If the format does not match, "close"
       will fail with EINVAL.
