Examples

 1.$ CREATE FILE.TXT
   HELLO EXIT
   $
   $ CREATE/SYMLINK="FILE.TXT" L.LNK
   $ X=F$READLINK("L.LNK")
   $ SH SYM X
     X = "FILE.TXT"
   $

   This example uses the F$READLINK function to return the
   target file name for a specified symbolic link.

 2.$ CREATE FILE.TXT
   HELLO EXIT
   $
   $ CREATE/SYMLINK="FILE.TXT" L.LNK
   $ CREATE/SYMLINK="L.LNK" LINK_TO_LINK.LNK
   $ X= F$READLINK("LINK_TO_LINK.LNK")
   $ SH SYM X
   X = "L.LNK"

   This example shows how F$READLINK functions when the target
   is a symbolic link file.
