readlinkAsync
external fun readlinkAsync(path: PathLike, options: ObjectEncodingOptions? = definedExternally): Promise<String>(source)
external fun readlinkAsync(path: PathLike, options: BufferEncoding? = definedExternally): Promise<String>(source)
Reads the contents of the symbolic link referred to by path. See the POSIX readlink(2) documentation for more detail. The promise is fulfilled with thelinkString upon success.
The optional options argument can be a string specifying an encoding, or an object with an encoding property specifying the character encoding to use for the link path returned. If the encoding is set to 'buffer', the link path returned will be passed as a Buffer object.
