is specified when running the installer). If linking directories, *do not* include a trailing slash.
Link commands support an (optional) extended configuration. In this type of
configuration, instead of specifying source locations directly, targets are
mapped to extended configuration dictionaries. These dictionaries map `path` to
the source path, specify `create` as `true` if the parent directory should be
created if necessary, specify `relink` as `true` if incorrect symbolic links
should be automatically overwritten, specify `force` as `true` if the file or
directory should be forcibly linked, and specify `relative` as `true` if the
symbolic link should have a relative path.
mapped to extended configuration dictionaries.
Available extended configuration parameters:
| Link Option | Explanation |
| -- | -- |
| `path` | The target for the symlink, the same as in the shortcut syntax (default:null, automatic (see below)) |
| `create` | When true, create parent directories to the link as needed. (default:false) |
| `relink` | Removes the old target if it's a symlink (default:false) |
| `force` | Force removes the old target, file or folder, and forces a new link (default:false) |
| `relative` | Use a relative path when creating the symlink (default:false, absolute links) |
| `use_glob` | Treat a `*` character as a wildcard, and perform link operations on all of those matches (default:false) |
