                       device or any valid Windows NT name

  Source /D          - Deletes Source, regardless of whether a link exists at
                       source

  /?                 - Prints this help message
{code}
LINKD grafts (links) the target name directly into the name space at Source,
so that Source subsequently acts as a name space junction. The Source directory
must reside on a disk formatted with NTFS 5.0. The destination (target of the
link) can be any valid directory name or device name or valid object name in
Windows NT. When the target name does not resolve to a directory or a device,
open calls fail.

All characters in both the Source and Destination names must be in the ASCII
character set. Usage of arbitrary Unicode characters is not supported.
