The link-exists? function will tell me that something is a symlink. How do I tell what it's pointing to?
I'm writing code that must move data from one computer to another, and I need a way to say "create the file here and put the data in it" vs "create a symlink here that points to a file over there and put the data in the file" I've been through the Filesystem[1] docs, which offer: link-exists? ; Is it a link? file-or-directory-identity (with as-link? #t) ; get the identity of a file, which can prove that a link isn't the same as the file that it points to, but doesn't help me find the target find-executable-file can track through a chain of links so presumably there is some way to do it. Various other functions (e.g. copy-file) also can distinguish between links and not-links. A general search of the docs yields a lot of hits to html- and collection-related things, but nothing that seems to solve my problem.
