9 usage = "%prog [options] source[ source ...] linkname"
11 A sym link to source is created at linkname. If multiple sources are specfied,
12 then linkname is assumed to be a directory, and will contain all the links to
13 the sources (basenames identical to their source).
15 On Windows, this will use hard links (mklink /H) to avoid requiring elevation.
16 This means that if the original is deleted and replaced, the link will still
17 have the old contents. This is not expected to interfere with the Chromium
