# symlink.sh -- This function provides an interface for ln command.
# It mainly exists to creates symbolic links based on information
# set in configuration files that have symlink as value to
# render-type option. In these sections, the render-from and
# link-target options are used to specify the link locations. The
# link-options option might be used to pass additional options to ln
# command.
