link_files

Paths to be linked into each working directory

Specification

  • Alias: None

  • Arguments: STRINGLIST

  • Default: no linked files

Description

Specifies the paths (files or directories) that will be symbolically linked from each working directory. Wildcards using * and ? are permitted. Linking is space-saving and useful for files not modified during the function evaluation. However, not all filesystems support linking, for example, support on Windows varies.

Examples

Specifying

link_files = 'siminput*.in' '/path/to/simdir1' 'simdir2/*'

will create copies

workdir/siminput*.in  # links to each of rundir / siminput*.in
workdir/simdir1/      # whole directory simdir1 linked
workdir/*             # each entry in directory simdir2 linked
