You can use FFI to call symlink(2).


C/USER[14]> (ffi:def-call-out symlink 
              (:name "symlink")
              (:arguments (p1 ffi:c-string :in) (p2 ffi:c-string :in))
              (:return-type ffi:int)
              (:language  :stdc))

SYMLINK

C/USER[15]> (symlink "/tmp/foo" "/tmp/bar")
0

C/USER[17]> (ext:shell "ls -l /tmp/bar")
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pjb pjb 8 Dec 16 02:58 /tmp/bar -> /tmp/foo
NIL
C/USER[18]>
