A modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.

function Deno.readLinkSync
allow-read
import { Deno } from "https://deno.land/x/deno@v1.28.1/cli/dts/lib.deno.ns.d.ts";
const { readLinkSync } = Deno;

Synchronously returns the full path destination of the named symbolic link.

Deno.symlinkSync("./test.txt", "./test_link.txt");
const target = Deno.readLinkSync("./test_link.txt"); // full path of ./test.txt

Throws TypeError if called with a hard link.

Requires allow-read permission.
