This is the interface for a symbolic link entity. A symbolic link is an
entity that references another absolute or relative entity location. At the
location referenced, there may or not may be another entity.
To create and use symbolic links, the file system must support the
FSCSymbolicLink capability.
In addition to the methods defined in this interface, the classes
SymbolicLinks and
DCSymbolicLinkUtil contains static
utility methods.
