With some limitations, these functions also work on Windows. First of all, the unerlying filesystem must support links. This requires NTFS. Second, symbolic links are only supported in Vista and later.

Extended operations on files
This module provides additional operations on files. This covers both more obscure and possible non-portable low-level operations and high-level utilities.
Using these Prolog primitives is typically to be preferred over using operating system primitives through shell/1 or process_create/3 because (1) there are no potential file name quoting issues, (2) there is no dependency on operating system commands and (3) using the implementations from this library is usually faster. */
