# Python3.x Python3 os.symlink() Method [ Python3 OS File/Directory Methods](#) * * * ### Overview The `os.symlink()` method is used to create a symbolic link. A symbolic link is a special type of file that contains a reference to another file or directory, and can point to a different location in the file system. ### Syntax The syntax for the **symlink()** method is as follows: os.symlink(src, dst, target_is_directory=False) ### Parameters * `src`: The path to the target file or directory for which the symbolic link is to be created. * `dst`: The path and name of the symbolic link. * `target_is_directory` (optional): A boolean value specifying whether `src` is a directory. If set to True, `dst` will be created as a symbolic link pointing to a directory. ### Return Value This method does not return a value. ### Example The following example demonstrates the use of the `symlink()` method: ## Example #!/usr/bin/python3 import os src = '/usr/bin/python'dst = '/tmp/python'# Create a symbolic link os.symlink(src, dst)print("Symbolic link created successfully") Executing the above program produces the following output: Symbolic link created successfully [ Python3 OS File/Directory Methods](#)
