+# Title: Shortcut To Symlink library
+# Purpose: Convert .lnk files to POSIX symlinks within a single filesystem
+# History:
+# Usage:
+# see s2s.py
+# Reference:
+# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25146960/python-convert-back-slashes-to-forward-slashes/25147093#25147093
+# https://github.com/libyal/liblnk/blob/main/documentation/Windows%20Shortcut%20File%20(LNK)%20format.asciidoc#file_attribute_flags
+# Improve:
+# Handle absolute paths when relative paths are absent?
+# Add a force=True option to overwrite existing symlink that points to something else
+# Dependencies:
+# devuan-req: python3-liblnk
