LinkPermission

public final class LinkPermission extends BasicPermission

The Permission class for link creation operations.

The following table provides a summary description of what the permission allows, and discusses the risks of granting code the permission.

Permission Target Name	What the Permission Allows	Risks of Allowing this Permission
hard	Ability to add an existing file to a directory. This is sometimes known as creating a link, or hard link.	Extreme care should be taken when granting this permission. It allows linking to any file or directory in the file system thus allowing the attacker access to all files.
symbolic	Ability to create symbolic links.	Extreme care should be taken when granting this permission. It allows linking to any file or directory in the file system thus allowing the attacker to access to all files.

	LinkPermission(String name) Constructs a `LinkPermission` with the specified name.
	LinkPermission(String name, String actions) Constructs a `LinkPermission` with the specified name.
