HELPLIB.HLB  —  SET  FILE  Qualifiers  /SYMLINK
       /SYMLINK=keyword
       /NOSYMLINK (default)

    If an input file is a symbolic link, the file referred to by the
    symbolic link is the file that is set.

    The /SYMLINK qualifier indicates that the symbolic link itself is
    set.

    The valid keywords for this qualifier are [NO]WILDCARD,
    [NO]ELLIPSIS, and [NO]TARGET. Descriptions are as follows:

    Keyword     Explanation

    NOWILDCARD  Indicates that symlinks are disabled during directory
                wildcard searches.
    WILDCARD    Indicates that symlinks are enabled during wildcard
                searches.
    NOELLIPSIS  Indicates that symlinks are matched for all wildcard
                fields except for ellipsis.
    ELLIPSIS    Equivalent to WILDCARD (included for command
                symmetry).
    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 SET FILE command is a symlink, the
    command by default operates on the symlink target.
