The character between the address and the symbol (separated by spaces) is the type of a symbol. The nm utility program on Unix systems lists the symbols from object files.

In MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows, the temporary directory is set by the environment variable TEMP or TMP. [1] Using the Window API, one can find the path to the temporary directory using the GetTempPath2 function, [2] or one can obtain a path to a uniquely-named temporary file using the GetTempFileName function.

Usually the target will exist, although symbolic links may be created to non-existent targets. link_path is the path of the symbolic link. After creating the symbolic link, some operations can be used to treat it as an alias for the ...
