/SYMLINK=keyword(default)
/NOSYMLINK
If an input-file specification parameter is a symbolic link,
the displayed file attributes are those of the symbolic link
itself. If any file attribute is requested, then the contents
of the symbolic link are also displayed, with an arrow appearing
between the file name and the contents (for example, LINK.TXT ->
FILE.TXT).
The /NOSYMLINK qualifier indicates that if an input file
specification is a symbolic link, then the file attributes of
the file to which the symbolic link refers are displayed; the
displayed name is still the name of the symbolic link itself.
The valid keywords for this qualifier are [NO]WILDCARD,
[NO]ELLIPSIS, and [NO]TARGET. Descriptions are as follows:
Keyword Explanation
WILDCARD Indicates that symlinks are enabled during wildcard
searches.
NOWILDCARD Indicates that symlinks are disabled during directory
wildcard searches.
ELLIPSIS Equivalent to WILDCARD (included for command
symmetry).
NOELLIPSIS Indicates that symlinks are matched for all wildcard
fields except for ellipsis.
TARGET Indicates that if the target file of the file
specification is a symlink, then the target file
is followed.
NOTARGET Indicates that the command operates on the target
file even if it is a symlink.
If the file named in the DIRECTORY command is a symlink, the
command by default operates on the symlink itself.
