SymlinkTask

Extends \Task

Generates symlinks based on a target / link combination.

Can also symlink contents of a directory, individually

Single target symlink example:

Symlink entire contents of directory

This will go through the contents of "/my/shared/library/*" and create a symlink for each entry into ${project.basedir}/library/

getter for _link

getLink() : string

access	public

Response

string

getter for _filesets

getFilesets() : array

access	public

Response

array

getter for _overwrite

getOverwrite() : boolean

access	public

Response

boolean

Generates an array of directories / files to be linked If _filesets is empty, returns getTarget()

getMap() : array|string

access	protected

Response

array|string

Called by the project to let the task do it's work. This method may be called more than once, if the task is invoked more than once. For example, if target1 and target2 both depend on target3, then running <em>phing target1 target2</em> will run all tasks in target3 twice.

main()

inherited abstract

Should throw a BuildException if someting goes wrong with the build

This is abstract here. Must be overloaded by real tasks.
