Function `std.file.getLinkAttributes`

If the given file is a symbolic link, then this returns the attributes of the symbolic link itself rather than file that it points to. If the given file is not a symbolic link, then this function returns the same result as getAttributes.


						
				uint getLinkAttributes(R)
				(
				

				  R name
				

				)
				

				if (isInputRange!R && !isInfinite!R && isSomeChar!(ElementEncodingType!R) && !isConvertibleToString!R);
				

				

				uint getLinkAttributes(R)
				(
				

				  auto ref R name
				

				)
				

				if (isConvertibleToString!R);

On Windows, getLinkAttributes is identical to getAttributes. It exists on Windows so that you don't have to special-case code for Windows when dealing with symbolic links.
