# @BLURB: Testing implementation of EAPI 8 dosym -r option
# @DESCRIPTION:
# A stand-alone implementation of the dosym command aimed for EAPI 8.
# Intended to be used for wider testing of the proposed option and to
# allow ebuilds to switch to the new model early, with minimal change
# needed for actual EAPI 8.

# If called with option -r, expand <target> relative to the apparent
# path of the directory containing <link>.  For example, "dosym8 -r
# /bin/foo /usr/bin/foo" will create a link named "../../bin/foo".
