| void copy_symlink( const std::filesystem::path& from, const std::filesystem::path& to); | (1) | (since C++17) | 
| void copy_symlink( const std::filesystem::path& from,                    const std::filesystem::path& to, | (2) | (since C++17) | 
Copies a symlink to another location.
1) Effectively calls f(read_symlink(from), to) where 
f is create_symlink or create_directory_symlink depending on whether from resolves to a file or directory.2) Effectively calls f(read_symlink(from, ec), to, ec) where 
f is create_symlink or create_directory_symlink depending on whether from resolves to a file or directory.| Contents | 
[edit] Parameters
| from | - | path to a symbolic link to copy | 
| to | - | destination path of the new symlink | 
| ec | - | out-parameter for error reporting in the non-throwing overload | 
[edit] Return value
(none)
[edit] Exceptions
The overload that does not take a std::error_code& parameter throws filesystem_error on underlying OS API errors, constructed withfrom as the first argument, to as the second argument, and the OS error code as the error code argument. std::bad_alloc may be thrown if memory allocation fails. The overload taking a std::error_code& parameter sets it to the OS API error code if an OS API call fails, and executes ec.clear() if no errors occur. This overload has noexcept specification:
