How does graceful-fs.symlink work?

graceful-fs.symlink() is a method in the graceful-fs library in Node.js that creates a symbolic link to a file or directory, similar to the fs.symlink() method, but with added robustness and graceful error handling.

const fs = require("graceful-fs");

fs.symlink("/path/to/original", "/path/to/link", (err) => {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err);
  } else {
    console.log("Symlink created successfully");
  }
});

This code creates a symbolic link at /path/to/link that points to /path/to/original. The fs.symlink function takes three arguments: the path to the original file or directory, the path to the symlink, and a callback function that is called with an error object if an error occurs.
