Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for supporting a symbolic link at an application level while keeping the structure of an existing file system that does not support a symbolic link. The method includes receiving a symbolic link creation command including an absolute path and a symbolic link path from a user, creating a symbolic link file for the symbolic link path when the absolute path exists but the symbolic link path does not exit, and changing a value of a specified field of a directory entry of the created symbolic link file to a specified value representing the symbolic link.
