| /// |
| /// fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> { |
| /// fs::symlink_dir("a", "b")?; |
| /// Ok(()) |
| /// } |
| /// ``` |
| /// |
| /// # Limitations |
| /// |
| /// Windows treats symlink creation as a [privileged action][symlink-security], |
| /// therefore this function is likely to fail unless the user makes changes to |
| /// their system to permit symlink creation. Users can try enabling Developer |
| /// Mode, granting the `SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege` privilege, or running |
| /// the process as an administrator. |
