- Method Detail
  - add
```
public void add(java.nio.file.Path root,
                java.io.File link,
                java.lang.String target,
                java.lang.String entryName)
         throws java.io.IOException
```
    Records a link that could not be created.
    
    Parameters:
    
    root - the canonical directory the copy must stay inside
    
    link - where the link would have been created; its parent directory must exist
    
    target - the link target as stored in the archive or resource
    
    entryName - the entry name, for messages
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if the parent directory cannot be canonicalized
  - resolve
```
public void resolve()
             throws java.io.IOException
```
    Copies the target of each recorded link in place of the link. Repeats until no more links resolve, so links that precede their target and chains of links work in any order. Targets outside the root, missing targets, cycles, occupied link paths and directories that contain the link are skipped with a warning.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if copying fails
