## symbolic-link-p

Arguments: pathname

If pathname names a symbolic link, returns the physical pathname of the file pointed to by the link. If pathname does not name a symbolic link, this function returns `nil`. `nil` is also returned if the item named by pathname does not exist, or the directory or filesystem do not exist but an error is signaled if pathname names a logical pathname with an undefined or untranslatable logical host.

pathname should be a pathname object or a string naming a pathname. The behavior when pathname names a circular link is undefined.

See also pathnames.htm for general information on pathnames in Allegro CL and see pathname-resolve-symbolic-links.
