VMS Help  —  COPY  Qualifiers  /SYMLINK
       /SYMLINK=keyword
       /NOSYMLINK (default)

    If the input file is a symbolic link, the file to which the
    symbolic link refers is the file that is copied.

    The /SYMLINK qualifier indicates that any input symbolic link is
    copied.

    If the file named in the command is a symlink, the command
    operates on the symlink target. The valid keywords for this
    qualifier are [NO]WILDCARD and [NO]ELLIPSIS. 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).
