Description
GetSymLinkTarget reads the content of a symbolic link.
There are two overloads for the GetSymLinkTarget method. The first overload reads the content of a symbolic link and the result is returned in the symbolic link record given by the SymLinkRec parameter, while the second overload returns the target of the symbolic link given by the TargetName parameter.
The method returns True if the symbolic link is valid, False otherwise.
Note: GetSymLinkTarget can be used on Windows Vista and later.
