Struct LinkSupport 

pub struct LinkSupport {
    pub symlink_file: bool,
    pub symlink_dir: bool,
    pub junction: bool,
}

Which link primitives the host filesystem actually allows right now.

Probed once per run rather than assumed from the target triple: on Windows symlink creation depends on Developer Mode or an elevated process, so two machines with the same OS can differ.

Fields

symlink_file: bool

symlink_dir: bool

junction: bool

Implementations

impl LinkSupport

pub const FULL: Self

A host where every primitive works, as on a typical Unix system.

pub const NONE: Self

A host where no link can be created; everything must fall back.

pub const JUNCTION_ONLY: Self

Windows without symlink privileges: junctions still work for directories.

pub const fn best_for(self, node: NodeKind) -> Option<Via>

The preferred mechanism for linking a node of the given kind, if any.

Symlinks win when available because they are portable, relative and unambiguous to detect. Junctions are the directory-only fallback.
