<a name="index-file_002c-symbolic-link"></a>

<p>This section documents the behavior of GNU Fortran for file operations on
symbolic links, on systems that support them. 
</p>
<ul>
<li> Results of INQUIRE statements of the &ldquo;inquire by file&rdquo; form will
relate to the target of the symbolic link. For example,
<code>INQUIRE(FILE=&quot;foo&quot;,EXIST=ex)</code> will set <var>ex</var> to <var>.true.</var> if
<var>foo</var> is a symbolic link pointing to an existing file, and <var>.false.</var>
if <var>foo</var> points to an non-existing file (&ldquo;dangling&rdquo; symbolic link).

</li><li> Using the <code>OPEN</code> statement with a <code>STATUS=&quot;NEW&quot;</code> specifier
on a symbolic link will result in an error condition, whether the symbolic
link points to an existing target or is dangling.

</li><li> If a symbolic link was connected, using the <code>CLOSE</code> statement
with a <code>STATUS=&quot;DELETE&quot;</code> specifier will cause the symbolic link itself
to be deleted, not its target.

</li></ul>
