  • A brief description
    If // is used in a soft link, it is considered a directory

  • Expected results

touch file
ln -s .//file file_lnk

Link should still work as a soft link even with // in the path

  • Actual results (with terminal output if applicable)
    cat: file_lnk: Is a directory

  • Your Windows build number
    14393.479

  • Steps / All commands required to reproduce the error from a brand new installation

touch file
ln -s .//file file_lnk
ll file_lnk # Everything looks fine
cat file_lnk # Broken
