-
A special type of file whose data is a pointer to another file. The pointer is specified in the form of a path string identifying the new file. This new file does not need to be on the same volume or even on the same server. When a symbolic link is encountered while parsing a path, the link is followed and the path parsing continues with the newly specified path.
