Documentation

Iterates through source directory linking each file to destination directory.

The result is that the directory structure in the destination directory will match the source directory, with each file in the source directory linked in (as long as the file did not already exist).

This can be useful if the source directory is read-only and you want a local copy where you can add files without actually copying all the data.

Functions

link_dir(source, destination)

Links each file in source to destination path iteratively
