#readlink(path: PathLike,options: EncodingOption,callback: (err: ErrnoException | null,linkString: string,) => void,): void
Reads the contents of the symbolic link referred to by path
. The callback gets
two arguments (err, linkString)
.
See the POSIX readlink(2)
documentation for more details.
The optional options
argument can be a string specifying an encoding, or an
object with an encoding
property specifying the character encoding to use for
the link path passed to the callback. If the encoding
is set to 'buffer'
,
the link path returned will be passed as a Buffer
object.
